Hi I need advice,after sending my form and waiting 7/8 weeks,I got a call to say I have to go a medical assessment at Marleybone Medical centre.
Has anyone been there before?
Also,I need advice as Im hearing about they way they are trying to misdo the questions.

I have worked 25 years and been on sick for 3 years and now this.

I am on sick due to stress.bad back and post traumatic stress due to the flashbacks from growing up in Northern Ireland and I have never asked for any extra help in the past like DLA etc,I just wanted to be left alone.

Has anyone any advice for me Please.

Also,I asked ATOS for a copy of the report that was written from the form ii sent in and Im was given another number starting 011 and I have been trying that number 2 days for 7 hours a day on redial and its engaged,But I found it very odd that it has been engaged for 24 hours as I double check it dueing the night, so I rang BT and they said that the number is Uncontacable? so they have a fake number so we can get hold of them,I asked them about this and they said it is working its just there very busy,(Really) Im now waiting on call back,I have also requested that my Medical is recorded as advice from this great site.

Can anyone advice me what to do on the day of the medical?as its stressing me out

The following FAQ has some details regarding the ESA medical

ESA Medical – What to expect

With regard the report, if you have been called for a medical, then there will not have been a report based on your ESA50. You should be able to request a copy of the medical report (ESA85), after a decision on your claim has been made.

I think people need to understand that medicals will be come all the more common as the cuts become deeper. I'm due for my IB renewal to come into effect soon so anytime now the brown letter will come through the letter box. Then eventually sooner or later I'll have to attend a medical. I can't and won't take the medical referral as personnel but just the norm we, well the majority, need to expect to attend medicals and fill in form much more frequently. Unfortunately some of us will "fail" and need to either sign on or appeal.

Good luck with your medical.
