ESA ATOS medical was created by ianheadland
I have my ESA atos medical on 17th January and I must say how scared and apprehensive I am. One of my friends has kindly offered to drive me and I will have a representative of Lincoln DIAL in the medical with me...but I am still very anxious. I suffer from severe/manic depression; the medication I am taking is making me very lethargic and I can now only walk with the aid of a walking stick; I get very upset if I have to leave my home and the thought of this medical is causing me excessive worries. I know I just have to be 'myself' but with all the scary reports on here and the 'trick' questions that are asked, I worry that I will not put myself in the best possible light.
Does anyone out there on this wonderful site have any advice for me? Thank you.

Headinawheelchair - I found that link took a long time to open.

There's also a list of the descriptors in the Help for Claimants area of this site.
