My husband had his medical yesterday having been in the support group for about 6 months. He suffers from severe depression and needless to say the thought of atending caused him great anxiety. On the day however we went to medical and they asked just 5 questions then said they would have to check something. They came back after a few minutes and said they were stopping the medical as there was no point in continuing and they would reccommend that he be placed in the support group.
We were so relieved but credit has to go to Benefits and Work as we read the literature supplied before filling in the form and had they gone further with the medical we had plenty of evidence we could have used. Reading comments on the forum I feel we have been quite a bit more fortunate than many other people but great thanks must go to Benefits and Work :cheer:

Hi M,

Thank you for letting us know, it really does give others in similar circumstances the will to continue their claim.

Best wishes.

Jim

I am really pleased for you. At least someone in ATOS seems to have a heart. I hope your husband recovers from the stress of attending the medical very soon.
