told I need to see a doctor was created by lesjo
Hi Everyone, new here, just wondered if anyone has had the same experience, I was scheduled to see an examiner from atos, said she was a nurse, when reading my notes she said she couldn't continue as my problem was outside her field and that she was going to make an appointment for me to see a doctor, I was insistant that we carry on as the thing out of her expertise "neuralgia" was not the important point to my problems. will I see a proper doctor or just someone else.

ATOS appear to have some rules as to who should see a claimant with a particular condition, although they seem to ignore them as often as they enforce them, and for anybody reading this, it is ATOS that decide, the claimant has no input.

You should now see an ATOS doctor, however, you should not expect the assessment to be significantly different from what it would have been with the nurse.
