I had a trawl through that linky of Dr Cryto, and I'm a little confused. Are Cognitive and Mental Health assessed in the same section? My son's autistic which can CAUSE some mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks and violent (to himself) meltdowns but his condition, strictly speaking has nothing to with mental health. Practically every study agrees its physical, ie the brain not the mind. The brain has to work very hard to rewire itself which is why they are overwhelmed with sensory information. We've got four scans of his brain from 4 different studies. Bet ATOS won't accept them! LOL

No harm in submitting them, but I doubt they would do much with them.

ATOS only used medical evidence from a claimaints GP etc in 13 percent of IB cases in one year...

The questions have been specifically designed and changed to prevent as many people as possible who suffer from depression, anxiety, stress etc. from being successful.

Could you please post in English with paragraphs, commas and full stops to make it easier for people to read your post and answer whatever questions that you have.

Thank you.

I don't think there were any questions, just a huge rant about how her mum was found fit for work, appealed, didn't turn up at said appeal, reapplied, had another medical and is waiting on the results. Lots of crying in between.

Thanks jen, I have decent vision but I just can't manage to read a huge body of text that doent really make much sense because there is no structure at all to it, nothing makes sense without paragraphs, sentences and full stops to me and most people.

Is your mum receiving any type of couselling for her condition.

I would put stress in the catagory with depression, anxiety, frustration, emotional, fatigued, all words to use in a form.

If needing to appeal gather support from her gp etc and try and get representation

I wasent ranting about my mum,
i was saying that the dwp dont care bout people needs,and dont take in account about what wrong with people.
I did ask a question.
I was asking did anyone know what happends regarding the medical on stress related problems.

Thankyou
