My husband is very ill and he gets forms every six months, maybe atos knows of a cure other than a transplant for kidney failure(which is only one of his illnesses)?

Is there a question in your statement?

ATOS and the DWP need to know of any change in condition, good or bad and therefore a 6 monthly medical is necessary to ensure the customer is receiving the right benefits.

It is not incorrect information at all.

What I have quoted are real life examples of people that I know and have come across over the past 18 months.

If they say that they are re-examined every 3 months - I have no reason to disbelieve them.

I wonder if what is actually happening is the people you are talking about are receiving their ESA50 questionnaire 3 months after their previous examination. The questionnaire is then used to decide if ATOS need to see them again.

I know ATOS waiting times very well and find it hard to believe that they would be able to fit so many customers in every 3 months.

Either that or it just happens that the people you know and have spoken to are the rare cases of routine 3 month medicals. But that would be quite a coincidence.

I think information from someone who works in the ESA department on a daily basis is more reliable and correct than your incorrect notions andy.

I am sorry Andy, but I can only repeat what I am told. For the sake of not upsetting anybody I will now refrain from making any further comments on this thread.

Ahhhh that might be the answer. The next time I am told anything like that I will enquire a little more.

Thank you
