ATOS medical was created by hassled mum
I had my medical today! I sent my esa50 renewal to them in November. Last week had the phonecall from dwp to say that esa(c) would end on 30th April as was expected.
We had to wait a very long time before I was called in by which time I was so poorly I had to lie down on the couch and have the interview from there.The doctor was not overly friendly and asked the usual questions that are in "preparing for your medical" so no suprises there but she was unwiling to take new hospital reports that had arrived since december saying she had enough info infront of her :unsure: . She then did a brief exam of lower limbs and then checked my heart (I do have a heart problem too). That was the end of the medical, it didn't go onto the work related questions,does the lima programme decide the end of the examination? or should they have asked questions about how I feel about going back to work etc. The doc seemed suprised that I was in the wrag and also asked why we hadn't asked for a home visit. Not sure what to make of it all so will just wait and see. I know that we cant really tell how it has gone but am a bit worried that I was cut short on explanations and production of further evidence.I have physical problems related to chronic neuro and joint degeneration including associated cardiovascular problems.
good luck to all waiting on a decision

Good luck, HM!

I had my assessment last week so, like you, am waiting to hear the worst.

Thankyou, I will keep you updated as I know there are a few others with esa(c) ending but still have renewal medicals due. Just hope its not months before I hear. Just a quick question, am due to see a neuro gastroenterologist (due to problems with swallowing and gastroparesia) when his report arrives can I forward it to the DM if I have not at that point had a decision?
love to all
