Atos complaint evidence for my appeal?

I have got the ESA85 Medical Report from Atos. There is an assessment Summary marked number 27 on the ESA85. I cant find anything that says ESA85S. Also the Atos doctor who investigated my complaint has stated in his investigation that the HCP has stated 'the client is also noted to have difficulty standing for 1 minute'. I cant find this on the ESA85 anywhere,as on mine it clearly says had difficulty standing for 4 minutes, but didn't need assistance.Would he have seen a different form to me?
I have searched through everything I have got and I cant find anything that says ESA85S.

We regularly hear on this forum and others that there is no justification recorded by the ATOS assessor as to why they significantly disagree with what is included in the claimants ESA50 and attached medical evidence.

Your original posts says "these issues are not clarified in the PSS", this may well be because there is no such document in regard your claim.

The only thing I can suggest, is for you to make a Subject Access Request for all of your documents held by the DWP, however, this may take time as the DWP are allowed 40 days to comply. There is a guide to SARs on the following link.

My appeal is next week and I thought I had everything ready,but now i'm feeling confused about it all

You should concentrate on showing why you meet the criteria for the SG as it will be this that wins your Appeal, but it will not hurt to point out the failings in the medical report and that the opinions stated are not supported, as has been recognised in your complaint about it.
