Atos Medicals - Questions, Answers and Support

'Got to be weird being a British Paralympian under this government, knowing that a medal means you'll lose your Disability Living Allowance.'

Well not necessarily I hope. I'd imagine not all of them (ie. those without arms) are able to cook for themselves (although I realise there are people with no arms who do amazing things with their feet, but that doesn't mean all of them do).

I'd imagine that plenty of them still need some help throughout the day.

As for the mobility component, not sure how that'll work, as ATOS would probably say if you're able to run 100m, you're obviously not suffering severe discomfort (despite the fact that some athletes say they're in pain when competing)

Neither the DLA or ESA forms say anything about running. The DWP are very pedantic. ;)
 
Bit of a tip while I remember - If you need to send your ESA form back but don't trust the post and don't want to pay for registered delivery, take it to the job centre, telling them you didn't recieve or have lost the envelope provided and ask them to send it by internal mail (make sure they know where it's supposed to go though) and make sure to get a reciept. I've never known the job centre to refuse to do this.
 
[/QUOTE]'m having these problems now. Worked all my life then at 50 get bowel and lung cancer. I got a letter yesterday to say I didn't have enough points from my ATOS so called medical, so my money has been stopped. So now with no money I have to find a job but who is going to employ me?

Treelover. You need to take the forward slash out of your first quote

The forward slash only goes in the end quote

You're getting there though
 
(think your link needs fixing, treelover - can't find anything to do with the quote on the website)
 
I'm not sure what happens when i post, i can't use the quotes, etc

Right. Above the blank post that you type a reply in, there's two rows (top row having font family, font size, smileys etc)

Under that, there's B, I and U (for bold, italics, underline). At the end of that row, there's " for quotes.

When you want to quote something, just click on that and the following appears:

quote thingies

you paste your quote in here

Your cursor will be in the middle of that, and you enter your quote that you copied in there

Minnie, I know that, the quotes don't work for me when I quote other than something on here, not always here even, haven't for some time

Alternatively you can highlight the web page in the URL box at the top of the browser page and copy it, then in the "new post" box here you just paste it and the board's software automatically recognises it as a link. :)
 
The same question is being asked everywhere. Mine was sent in to arrive 20th July.

I did research and heard of people waiting 6 months in some cases
