Confusion

New member so hi all, a lot going on at present, was put in WRAG despite ATOS saying I was too unfit to work for at least 2 years (??) so got appeal in, and now (it never rains!) I have ATOS Doctor coming this week re: my DLA (Right Payment Programme).

I was wondering if other members had yet had ATOS to do their DLA medical, especially at home? I also wanted to know if it's still the old pen and paper job, or more like the WCA assessments?

Feedback would be much appreciated.

As you are new you might want to have a look at the following FAQ

Welcome to Benefits and Work

The DLA medical at home is substantially the same as that carried out at an ATOS HealthCare Centre and is not conducted by computer. See

DLA medical examination

With regard your ESA appeal, you may already know this, but a prognosis of two years is not reason to be placed in the Support Group, see

Qualifying for the Support Group
