New questionnaire

- Topic Author
Telephoned Atos, told that I am going to have an assessment and I am in the queue for one.
I asked when would this be about and I was told there is a backlog !
I am rather glad really because I would prefer a doctor to see me and ask about my conditions/limitations, better to see me and understand than written evidence I think.
Will update when I receive the letter.
Thanks

I have heard nothing from Atos about a assessment.
Would I be right in thinking that it is still early days as yet to hear from them ?
Just thought I would let you know so other members get an idea of waiting times.
Thank you.

It was 5 months after sending in my ESA50 that I finally heard anything from ATOS ('inviting' me to a face2face assessment) - and that was before the backlog got as bad as it is now!

Crazydiamond, a former DSS Adjudication Officer ( who retired as moderator for family & health reasons a few months ago) and I predicted that with so many changes to benefits, rushed in with no proper debate in Parliament would lead to a 'meltdown'
We weren't that wrong !

Previously (six years ago) I attended a Incapacity benefit medical, at that time it was at Lawnswood, Otley Road, Leeds.
This new assessment for a F2F is at quarry hill house, Quarry Hill, Leeds.
Has the assessment centre changed to a new address or is this place for something else, I would be grateful if anyone knows about this change of venue.
Thanks.

I do not believe that ATOS performed IB assessments so that is most likely the cause of the address change.
