Then you need to make this clear in your MR submission.

The same thing applies - you will need to make it clear to the tribunal panel that you cannot self-propel if you hope to score points on this descriptor.

gordon ,have had a letter back from atos complaints team ,basically just fudged every issue i raised,saying to each item i stated ,"the hcp is no longer with us so we cannot comment on what was or was not stated on the day " the only statement they did agree to was the comment she wrote down about me having to rise 3 times during the assessment due to back pain she wrote it was because of mental health problems ,this they said was an error and said sorry ,some of the issues they didnt even comment on . i phoned yesterday to atos in regards to their letter and explained i was unsatisfied with their response,whilst talking to them i questioned what this med3 was that had been used with other info by the hcp,they told me it was what i would have called a sick line ,i explained that i had received my appeal papers and that was not included within them ,she suggested i ring esa and ask them for a copy of it to be sent to me ,which i did , as a result i was told by a dm that they did not have a med3 on me as i had been on long term sick with no breaks ,so the hcp told lies when she said she used it as evidence on my medical,phoned atos again with this info they suggest i write another letter explaining this ,to be honest i am tired if writing letters that get no real response ,just fobbed of,can you give me any guidence on where i should go from here ,is there any other bodies that can make atos sit up and take notice of what i have told them

looked at that site gordon part of it quotes "received a final response from the agency or business that explains that you can bring your complaint to us if you’re not satisfied with their response"so i will have to wait on another reply from them before i can go down this route,but its good to know that it is an option.the lady on the phone from atos said she would talk to the clinical director tomorrow and tell him all i have said ,she promised to phone tomorrow and tell me what he said
