well, still waiting to hear from ATOS. I am now beyond the 13 weeks since ESA was granted. Spoke to DWP and all they said was 'you will just have to wait to hear from ATOS'.

Are they really that busy and so far behind?


Yes and Yes and it will get much worse too B)

oh well, at this rate I will be having my original DLA application appeal heard before I have an ATOS medical for ESA.

Don't you just love the system? :)

Well, its happened. Got a phone call on Saturday to book an ATOS medical. I asked the guy on the phone how I was expected to leave the house and get to a medical.

I was told, the doctors supporting letter is 3 months old now and no use, you have to come for a medical. Saw my GP today who was less than impressed.

He had to fill in a Incapacity Form he called it a month ago and could not understand why they were demanding I went for a medical.

He is constructing a fax to them telling them I cannot leave home so we will see what they come back with.

Unbelievable !!

How dare Atos say your doctor's medical report is out of date when they are subjecting people to all sorts of delays.

It sounds like you have a very helpful GP which is good and you will always find support on this site.

Best wishes
