I was just reading another post and this may also help you. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?251737-Appealing-or-going-to-a-Tribunal-Some-useful-information%282-Viewing%29-nbsp

Antonia with your husband write down as much as you can remember about the interview. What details you gave the doctor, what questions the doctor asked. If the doctor did not examine him then they would have not been able to make the comments about muscle loss and his condition etc. A large number of ATOS assessments have been found not fit for purpose and I think you should make a complaint concerning the examination. I am not to sure about how you go about this but I am sure one of the more experienced members of the forum will be able to help you.

Hi Antonia26, you would first need to ask for a reconsideration of the decision and or appeal. the document below helped me. http://www.pcs.org.uk/en/equality/guidance-and-resources/disability_equality_toolkit/work-capability-assessments--.cfm

Antonia26, did your husband actually see a Doctor? Or was was he sent away without seeing anyone and then you received a letter saying you scored 0 points?

I live in a very rural area. One bus every hour, about 10 miles from the nearest JPC, Two bus rides to get there, I just hope the local farmer needs a hand spreading s***?

The beggars are back..

Fletch, you are correct, my Aunt always told me that my surnames origin was that of a merchant of central Europe. When I looked for myself my surname comes from the old German for gipsy/tinker. I am British but cannot make my mind up what to put on the council forms when they ask me my ethnic origin. As I have blond hair blue eyes people tend not to believe me when I state I am a gipsy. -

Wife's sister just gave us a car. 12 months tax and mot. Not had a car for 6 months not had one that did not brake down since 2008. I am at a loss for words to see my wife so happy. -
Just looked at the very small print 37.5%, they must be kidding.

As any body any experience with these people Address Derby Chambers 6 The Rock Bury Greater Manchester. I keep getting phone calls/ letters etc from these people. I think I may have been sold PPI a number of years ago but have no evidence as yet (in the S.A.R stage at present time). Would these people be any quicker.

Edited due to mistake.

If you ring DWP then you will be able to find out how long you have been placed into the support group for. However, the DWP do not have to go by that time and you can be assessed at any time.

Did she say why she is convinced its migraine or did she she write prescription without explanation?
-
Hi just a quick one from my experience. When I had serious mental health issues I would hide my post and do some pretty strange things. My wife informed the DWP of this and I signed a form which allowed her to receive copies of my letters etc. I was just wondering if you could do the same. This was also the case when dealing with JPC.
-
Hi fletch I totally agree with your comments and I have always been careful if you read my posts, I have suggested that talking with her GP would be the best option and would give her the best information.

A Having problems getting ESA85 Statement from recent WCA
mr_mastiff replied to tommy456's topic in Benefits and HMRC
Many G.P,s only have a diagnosis on there computer screen. For example if you have osteoarthritis He would not know how many steps you could climb, or problems getting in and out the bath or the degree of pain you are in. Most Gp,s have ten minutes to assess your problems/needs by writing down your day to day problems it allows them to gain a better understanding of your problems and paint an accurate picture of your condition when he is referring you or being asked to give evidence. -
Sick as a chip, I am not a cardiac specialist but I did care for large number of patients with heart failure brought on by another condition. Diagnosis of early left sided heart failure by simple observation is very difficult because the body as many complex coping methods by which the the heart rate and blood pressure are kept within normal ranges. It it only when these mechanisms fail that problems become more obvious and by that time some damage will have already been done. Reading your mothers report I would be 95% certain that these were all long standing conditions. For example the scarring on both kidneys would indicate that the hypertension was over a long period of time. The only part that I could question would be the pulmonary oedema which would have been picked up on pre operative examination and X-ray, Because it was not picked up then it would suggest that the oedema (fluid on lungs) was something that your mother developed after leaving hospital. This could be due to a simple chest infection. Was your mother on any blood pressure medication before she went into hospital or did she take "water Tablets"(Diuretics) for swollen legs. Without knowing her medical history prior to going into hospital I am sorry but I would only be guessing with any other comments. I hope I have helped you in some way.

Atos have sent a second form but admit they received the first !
mr_mastiff replied to pipistrollers's topic in ATOS
It may worth asking for all the information they have on you. Have they mixed your details up with someone else. -
Glad I could help.If you look at point 5 it suggests that your mother had hypertension for some period of time. This I believe would rule out the condition being congenital. To be 100% sure I would have a talk with your G.P.

MS And Parkinson's Sufferers Told: 'Get To Work'
mr_mastiff replied to citizenB's topic in Benefits and HMRC
I try to work two steps ahead, I put all the evidence I could on the form including a pain dairy for 28 days (GP used it in analgesia review). I included all evidence I could think off that could used on appeal or at tribunal stages. As I understand it it needs to submitted on the original form to be used as evidence if your claim reaches the later stages. -
Hi Zonker in a number of ways I am in your situation, I have been told I have a anxiety related disorder, When I ask what type of disorder nobody can give me an answer. I do not fit that group or another I have bits of each. Treatment is one size fits all, none of which fits me. Its fine on on official forms until someone questions the diagnosis because of time or symptoms.
-
Zonker, are they saying there is no treatment for your condition other than I presume medication. Have you contacted any groups which may be able to help you. Have a look at the list at the bottom of the first document. Also if you look at the second document it states that a diagnosis of adjustment disorder is only valid for only six months and should be regularly reassessed. http://www.mentalneurologicalprimarycare.org/downloads/primary_care/adjustment_disorder.pd http://www.psychologyservice.co.uk/therapy-adjustment-disorder.htm

MS And Parkinson's Sufferers Told: 'Get To Work'
mr_mastiff replied to citizenB's topic in Benefits and HMRC
Hi silly girl which part of the form does not seem relevant ? Sillygirl keep a record of how long your bad periods last. I use a pain scale to try and gauge the level of pain. If you take 0 as being pain free and 10 being the worst pain you can imagine you can state that in 10 days I have 3 days at level 3, 2 days at level 5 and the rest at level 8. Also because your pain is not brought on by any obvious physical activity it is beyond your control at this point. -
Yes but you do have the right to ask why that particular consultant cannot help you. Perhaps adjustment disorder is not in his field of expertise. If it is not then you have the right to ask for a referral to a consultant who is more knowledgeable in this field. If you do a little bit of research you should be able to find which consultant in the area deals with your condition and then asked to be referred to them. Did your G.P give any explanation why the last bunch feel they did not want to see you.
