ESA Medical Today

fair and atos in the same sentence. nawww

The words fair, accurate, professional, normal, etiquette and WCA have no place in a sentence containing the word 'Atos'.

Hello

I am practically 'dying' with the stress of waiting to hear about an esa medical.
I sent my ESA 50 in three weeks ago - how long did you wait to hear about your medical?

Its totally unfair to make unwell people go through this hell, especially those like me who suffer mental health problems. Sorry to be so negative but I really can't cope with this process,and i don't know if I'll have the energy to appeal if I fail.


I'm glad your medical wasn't too bad.

Hi!
I waited about three weeks. So don't worry to much.
I only originally posted in the hope that the fear of the medical and the unknown might be lessened for those of you who are stressed and sick.
I am not nieve and know that the persona presented is a front and that their real intention is to get you off benefit.
My thoughts are that as long as you are aware of their intention i would rather be faced with a smile than a ba***tard.

Nada,

Please try not to get too stressed about this.

I know it's easier said than done, as long as you have presented your case as well as you can, there is little more you can do.

I suppose that is all part of it, not having any further contol over the assessment, other than your face to face if you need to have one, and very little then.

When I worked I was in a very stressful job, and indeed originally got very "stressed out", eventually I learnt to cope by taking the attitude that I would only worry about things that were within my control, and not about issues under the control of others.

I am not saying that this approach can be taken by all, but please try not to worry too much.

MS,

Fair comments, and I understand that you were trying to be of help to people worrying about an impending face to face.

I know you're not naive, by reading all your previous posts, hope you have not taken offence by my post, as non intended.

You'll have to excuse my "gallows humour"
I think it helps me get by.

cheers
