ATOS medical
Comments

I had my 6 appointments suspended as I was obviously so unwell - the woman couldn't wait to get me out the door! I think they have to see you for the first one and then can suspend for 6 months, see you again and suspend for another 6 months. I appealed and was placed in support group so now dont have to attend!
As I understand it suspending or delaying the appointment until a later date is allowed but waiving it completely isn't. In my case the response I got when I rang was only a whisker short of accusing the people responsible for the legislation of being complete morons. There isn't even an allowance for them to waive the interviews if the claimant has legitimate reason that would limit the requirement for them to seek work e.g. a baby.Eat food. Not too much.

Hi everyone,
I just dont see the point of me going to these appointments so they can help me find a job when I already have a job. I would have thought this was a ligitimate reason for not attending the appointments. But hey hoo who are we to argue with the powers that be. Anyway no point in worrying about it till I go to the ATOS medical next Monday. Maybe they will agree with me. HA HA. The lady I saw at the Job centre at my last appointment agreed with me that it was a waste of time.
