Hi all. I did ring them last week & was told I couldnt have the date I wanted as it was too far off. The person who takes me to appointments is away until 26th nov. I was told by atos to ring back today, the day the appointment was due to cancel & rebook. I've had to rebook the 12th nov, which is a waste of time as the person who takes me isnt around until the 26th.i forgot to ask to have it recorded & had to ring back. I'm so confused. I have a current report of injuries & x rays. Shall i send this off to atos or dwp, just to see if they will postpone to a date i can make? Is there any letter i can get from my gp so as i dont have to attend this stressful farce. I really dont know what i,m doing at the minute.

Many thanks for your reply. I would have to have someone with me, as I'm unable to get there unaided. They cant let me know until the end of next week what dates they are available, as he is taking me to 3 hospital/doctor appointments within the same week, so he has to book time from work to do this. He is unable to fit in another appointment for me. I work all my appointments around him, so this ATOS appointment as come not only as a shock, but at a time when I'm having a lot of medical visits. I really dont have any heart in going to ATOS, as I know & remember so well what happened the last time, its just a farce & cant bare it. I feel sick to my stomach. Thanks again

I'm so confussd. I completed a form last august think it was a esa50, loads of pages. I didnt hear anything then this week I have recieved an appointment for a medical. I thought atos had been suspended? Part of my condition is spinal related caused by an accident. I dont really want to go into to much detail. I have experienced one medical, when Ifirst became sick, about 2 years ago. The whole proces was a lie, I had to go to tribunal. I refused to attend, but was awarded esa wrag. The thought of going through this process again fills me with horror, as I dont trust them. I have enough meidcal paperwork, which they have copies of. My appointment is forthe 20th october, i cant get anyone to go withme, as I have several hospital appointments in the same week. I havent rung atos yet, as i cant face it. I'm just so shocked as I thought atos had gone. Can I write to them with a current medical letter, explaining the current condition my spine & pelvis is in or do i have to attend this farce, to be told nil points because Ican use a phone!! Sorry for the rambling, but I'm nervous, confused & angry. Thanks in advance
