Atos medical

I had my WCA today. I think I said everything I wanted, so all I can do now is wait. I am expecting to be refused and go to appeal - anything more than that will be a bonus!

Here's wishing you a positive outcome MHB.

Fingers and everything crossed for you Mrs H, i,m expecting to get the dreaded call from Atos anytime soon, absolutely dreading it, last medical i had was for IB about 20 years ago now.

I hope the outcome from both the OP and Mrs H are what they hope for.

We as the sick and disabled have became the lowest of the low, it would seem. Below the Jeremy Kyle brigade. Ridiculed and belittled by the tabloid press.

I agree with you karlo, the whole thing is a disgrace.

I survived - sort of! Was only in with the 'qualified physiotherapist' for about 25 mins. She seemed very nice and friendly but that only had the opposite effect on me and i was on my guard straight away.

Asked questions about how i cope day to day, how far i can walk, do i drive, wash , how i dress myself, what my history regarding my back surgery was. She then had me raise my arms, clench my fists, then on the exam bed to lift my legs (which i ws unable to do because of pain).

She seemed to be typing an awful lot on the computer screen but she did ask if I had any further evidence to pass on which i duly did.

I took my mother-in-law with me and she did ask my mother in law if she had any comments to add.

My mother in law said she was 'very friendly and nice'! I think i'll wait to see what my medical says before i decide.

Hope this helps anyone that still has to. Experience this, good luck.

Hi S220,

At least it is over with now.

Hope you gain a good result.
