Atos

[commiekips]

I was thinking about starting a new thread about Atos myself but this thread makes a good point.

 

I was stunned when I read the report of my PCA. The doctor was listening, sympathising even prompting me about my back pain and how uncomfortable I looked in the chair.

Then the report says I have no problem sitting, standing, or anything else.

 

I said I left my job because of stress, the report says "did not leave because of stress", (I should be able to prove them wrong).

 

Everything else I said was blatantly reversed. I am still angry but I will put that energy into the best appeal I can make.

 

My thread was going to say basically "abandon hope of all honesty when you enter your assessment".

 

I knew it was going on but when it happens to you, you see the extent of the lies is staggering.

 

It can't go on like this can it?

Whatever you do, don't let your anger control your chances of a win. Your opinions and the fact that ATOS examiners may be liers is irrelevant. Your job is to prove that your descriptors were wrong; that's all will be taken into account.

I thought I was alone until I read the above,

Atos and the whole system needs sorting out.

I Had to give up my Job and as my home went with the Job i had to give that up too, all because I was involved in a serious road traffic accident and smashed up my arm, it was operated on, had plates inserted, but is still not mending, I was on ESA for a month or so then sent for a medical assessment, suprise,suprise, I failed and was deemed fit for work, scoring '0' on the 'Decision', this is despite the fact I am awaiting another operation on my right arm, next week, I'm right handed, I will be in plaster for at least six weeks, with the possability of needing further surgery if the bone graft from my hip does not work, I am also diagnosed by my doctor with Anxiety/Depression as a result of the trauma of the car accident, all this is not helping.

But hey! I'm fit for work, I think not, I have lodged an appeal, and also a formal Complaint about the so called 'Medical Assessment' with Jobcentre Plus.

Don't waste you time and energy moaning and complaining to this body or that body; it's pointless because no one is interested. Just take proper advice and stick to the current laws available as you make formal appeals and sit tribunals. The government has proven that it doesn't give a toss about any of this unless it is clawing back money and changing statistics to suit itself and no amount of complaining will change that. Be business like in your approach and ruthless in your delivery.

 

Regarding the number ten petitions website. Save your breath; it's nothing more than a diversion, designed to stop people bombarding number ten with paper petitions. No one will take any notice of those online petitions.

[commiekips]

well i think signing an online petition certainly isnt going to do any harm.

That's what the government banks on.

[commiekips]

So, what else can you suggest then? Bearing in mind most of us who are either disabled or long term ill are not able to storm the ramparts of No10 in person.

Are you fit and able? If so, could you organise the able bodied masses to protest for us by proxy? Now that'd be something worthwhile ...

Maybe good old fashioned snail mail, after all, that's why they started the online petitons site. Someone like you shouldn't have a problem writing a letter or two, I would imagine.

[commiekips]

is that like chain mail?

No, chain mail is what knights wear. Have you been watching Ivanho again?

[commiekips]

Absolutely no problem with writing, commiekips, but do have a problem with postage. As i have fallen through the ESA trapdoor and am currently in receipt of no benefits whatsoever, perhaps you'd be kind enough to provide paper, envelopes and sufficient stamps for me...

Best wishes

Rae.

Why would you suggest I do that? If you have something to petition about then go ahead and fund it yourself or waste your time on number10.org.

[commiekips]

ivan who? explain then please,what is snail mail

Royal mail...If you're not old enough to remember then try google.

[commiekips]

It was a petition on the number 10 website which resulted in an amendment to the law in regard to reciprocal childcare. That petition, along with the response to it can be viewed here

 

Each petition receives a response and it's much like that of paper petitions; some are successful in forcing change and some are not.

Lip service.

Commiekips I think you are really rude and sarcastic. People on here are in need of help and support for this barbaric system that penalizes genuine ill people and certainly don;t need to hear your sarcastic comments. I hope that someday you won;t need that same support and advise and have to suffer ignorant sracastic comments such as yours.

There are many forms of sarcasm; some forms are quite subtle. I was replying to kelcou's charming replies with like replies. You know nothing about what I have been through; you're just surmising because it probably suits your agenda. As for genuine people here; well, let's be realistic eh?

[commiekips]

I hope you don't mind me asking then, commiekips. I've been wondering what experience you have of the system? Was it horrendous like many of us?

 

HB

Yes, and still is. "Many of us" Is that a fact that you know or are you just imagining it?

 

I have been bullied and hounded by The DWP who, in my opinion, given the facts that exist in box folders full of evidence, are in need of help themselves.

 

Instead of allowing me to heal and recuperate properly, they've delayed my recovery with their tar everyone with the same brush techniques, which have only served to waste everyone's time and tax payers money with their bureaucracy.

 

They seem to think that I want to receive this benefit from a system that I've paid into for years instead of my normal 5 figure income and have made sure that I'm delayed in returning to it by causing me as much stress and aggravation as possible.
