Update. The decision maker rang this afternoon. Apparently ATOS awarded me nil points, but she disagreed. She said she had read my history and all the accompanying doctors' letters and thought I should remain in the support group so she was ringing to tell me not to worry, nothing would change and I would stay on ESA for the next two years. She was so nice I felt like crying. Wonderful! I had all my notes ready but didn't need them after all. So if someone else comes on here with the same query, please let them know it isn't always bad news. Thank you for your help. I wish everyone could have a happy ending.

Hi. I recently had my ATOS medical review and I am awaiting the result. However, this afternoon I received a telephone call from someone at DWP asking me if it would be ok for the decision maker to ring and have a chat with me, sometime in the next few days. Of course, I said yes. Does anyone else have experience of this? Why does the decision maker need to do this? Is my claim touch and go? I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, bipolar 2, hypermobility and all the things that these conditions throw up, of which there are many. I am now worried sick that they are going to try and discredit my info. Anybody have any ideas please? Thanks in advance, Susie...AKA Kimmikat.
