Missed call from Atos? was created by titchy123
I am hoping someone can help? I missed a call earlier today and when i've checked the number it is from atos. I sent my esa form off about 3 weeks ago so i guess it's the dreaded call to invite me for a medical?
I stated on the form that i don't answer the phone unless i know who is calling due to anxiety problems,etc. What would happen if i did not answer the phone? Would they send a letter?
Also roughly how long after "the call" are you asked to attend?
Would they ring to say i've been placed in a group without a medical?
Sorry for all these questions but i'm going to have a sleepless night tonight with worry, i'm really scared now of what's to come?

If they cant get you on the phone they will send a letter with an appointment. I think they have to give at least seven days notice.

Hi titchy123
When Atos have phoned me it has been to attend a medical. I miissed the call last time they phoned and 2 days later i received a letter to attend a medical. On both medicals i have had about 3 weeks notice. I would be as sure as i can be that if ATOS have phoned you it is to attend a medical.

ATOS would not be ringing to inform you of a Decision, this will only be done by the DWP.
The most likely answer is, as Izzy suggests, that they are trying to arrange an assessment. If they don't contact you by phone, then they will write to you with details of the appointment, you should get a minimum of 7 days notice but it is likely to be 2-3 weeks.
