Can you help BBC TV expose ESA medicals?
23 February 2010
BBC television to investigate problems with ESA
The BBC's current affairs department is investigating the difficulties people face when trying to claim ESA, for a television documentary. The programme aims to highlight claimants' experiences with the new system and to investigate why people with genuine illnesses and disabilities are being declared fit to work. Do you, for example, believe the results of your Atos assessment are wrong? Or perhaps you do not think they reflect the answers you gave to the doctor at the time.
“If you've had a problem claiming ESA and would like to discuss your experience, then please contact Liam McDougall as soon as possible on 0141 422 7559 or liam-mcdougall@bbc-co-uk
The captialization of my text is not shouting, my manor is very direct, some people do not like that.
Sorry to the original poster. Would everyone prefer a seperate thread for my content ?
Maybe im over reacting. Maybe Atos are honorable, Maybe some people dont like to see solutions, Is this the sympathy board or did the original thread starter request help and assistance ?
I will leave if requested to do so by a mod. If that is the case I will never blacken your shores again.0 -

Convention for the Protection
of Human Rights and
Fundamental Freedoms
Rome, 4.XI.1950
The governments signatory hereto, being members of the Council of Europe,
Considering the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by
the General Assembly of the United Nations on 10th December 1948;
Considering that this Declaration aims at securing the universal and
effective recognition and observance of the Rights therein declared;
Considering that the aim of the Council of Europe is the achievement of
greater unity between its members and that one of the methods by
which that aim is to be pursued is the maintenance and further
realisation of human rights and fundamental freedoms;
Reaffirming their profound belief in those fundamental freedoms which
are the foundation of justice and peace in the world and are best
maintained on the one hand by an effective political democracy and on
the other by a common understanding and observance of the human
rights upon which they depend;
Being resolved, as the governments of European countries which are
like-minded and have a common heritage of political traditions, ideals,
freedom and the rule of law, to take the first steps for the collective
enforcement of certain of the rights stated in the Universal Declaration,
Have agreed as follows:
Article 1 – Obligation to respect human rights
The High Contracting Parties shall secure to everyone within their
jurisdiction the rights and freedoms defined in Section I of this
Convention.
I need to check my posts. I may of said article 5 instead of article 7. My mistake. I will correct where ness.0 -

The following reproduces the articles of the Declaration which set out the specific human rights that are recognized in the Declaration.[14]

Article 9

There are many more articles, this is just a list from wikipeadia. Google UDHR 1948 for yourselves. This is a way to ensure your medical is FAIR and that you can prove it isnt fair by having it audio recorded.
Audio recording should be mandatory.0 -
A lot of incorrect points here but I will just mention two.
You cannot insist the medical is recorded, you can ask but it is likely to be declined. If you do get permission it will have to be carried out by a professional and the claimant will have to pay for it.
Tribunals are not biased, they are independent of the DWP.
It's a conspiracy!Gone ... or have I?0 -

Pardon me for offering correction.
The medical in actual fact starts as soon as the Atos doctor sees you from his window approaching location of your medical.
Likewise, it finishes when you vanish out of his line of sight from said windows0 -
