Silverwolf Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Sounds like the typical situation then, of the guys at the top making these stupid decisions that affect peeps, but not taking on board what the peeps on the ground - who do this stuff on a daily basis - have to say! Beurocracy gone mad as ussual! you're welcome to snurgles anytime hun x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they judge from a 20 minute interview how things are, these ATOS people are a joke!!! Hi there Thanks for the support Lol exactly, though it seems this is a nationwide problem. I read an article that said only 6% of applicants are actually getting the full ESA, with about 80% of people being denied it and the remainder going into "working group" or something similar. Anyways, today I have given a letter to my doc asking if she will write a letter of support, my T has said she will as well. Going to contact Welfare Rights as well and see what they say, may also give CAB a go. Taking positive action :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammycrazy Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I requested a full copy of my medical report from my ATOS medical (failed of course) it stated that "patient was not rocking back and forth therefore displays no symptoms of anxiety" !!!!! Also the doc stated that I "had no thoughts of suicide or self harm" I almost choked when I read it and my G.P was amazed how wrong and incompetant these people are, Still the appeal goes on and I do voluntary work which allows me to choose when I go in and gives me a sense of purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
