ATOS Medical Today - Any Advice? was created by marygal
Hi,
I received a letter last Thursday from Medical Services saying that they have been asked by DWP to arrange a medical. On Saturday I received another letter saying they are coming to my home today.
I've read the 70 Questions and the Medical report Form.
However, after seeing different posts on here of how the doctor can write different 'facts' on his form as to what you actually tell him/her I'm feeling very stressed by it.
Can you offer any advice on what to do/say or not do/say?
Many thanks

Hi Mary

If you go to the blue section on the left of the menu, and click on the guides they give help and guidance on medicals. We all know its a worrying time so the guides should help you through it.

Regards

Michael

It is actually the orange box under the heading "members only."

You don't say for what allowance the medical examination/assessment is intended, but over and above the use of the appropriate guides, as all medical examination/assessments would appear to vary in format to some extent, it would be up to other members to share their experiences with you which seems to be the purpose of your post?

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi, I'm pretty sure that there should be at least 7 days notice given for a medical assessment appointment.

If OP only received letter on Saturday, that is not even one full working day.

cheers

Hi, Thanks for the response.
It's for a DLA claim for both mobility and care components and although I have looked through the guides I wondered if anyone had any other advice that would help.
Many thanks
