Thank you Emma for posting your balancing experience of having a long wait. I hope knowing that she is not alone will give goldengirl a little encouragment.
If you decide to ring the DWP try doing so as soon as possible after 9.00 since the queues seems to be shortest then.

called atos again as it's now 4 months - apparently they are looking at it now. wait now for the stress of appeal etc.
anyway need to rant - she insisted I had to give her the correspondence address they have for me, and disagreed when I told her it was my home address. according to them I had given them another address for correspondence. eventually convinced her that was wrong and she agreed to remove it. could explain why I was penalised previously for not attending an intervew for which i didn't receive notification!
I asked her what address they were using - apparently it was a job centre in birkenhead!!!! over 200 miles away from where I live. you couldn't make it up.
please forgive lack of caps - only using one hand after thumb surgery
