What is the point of ESA medicals??????????

[jsdk]

Hello,

 

I had my medical for ESA 3 weeks ago,I am currently on IB,I have been informed that I am to be placed into the WRAG group,I asked for a copy of my medical and the doctor clearly states that he does not feel a return to work for me is possible.I feel that I meet the descriptors for the Support group because:

 

He states I cannot move from 1 chair to another with physical help from someone

 

He states I have loss of bladder at least once a week

 

He states I have loss of consciousness or awareness at least once a week

 

Cannot turn the pages of a book with either hand

 

Cannot remain at a work station for more than 30 minutes

 

Cannot pick up and move a 0.5 litre carton of liquid

 

Why oh why are the goverment paying Atos huge sums of money to carry out these assessments if they are then going to ignore the evidence?

 

I will of course be appealing

If you are in their premises for the appeal hearing, make sure you 'lose your bladder' while there and all over their furniture.

They have to be seen going through what passes as a "medical examination" otherwise they wouldn't be able to get away with giving you zero points.

 

Meanwhile, the taxpayer picks up the tab, as usual.
