DLA Troubles - ATOS liars!

You have evidence of business interests being biased? In the absence of any evidence it appears to be only your opinion which of course it is. Unless you have any evidence......Yes, business interests mean they have to be biased - their chief interest is the client, not the patient, because it's the client who pays them.
So, whatever the client says, is what goes.
That and the fact atos are bound by regulations that state the contrary.0 -
But then those doing the vetting require competencies suitable to allow them to carry out appropriate selection.Depends on who's doing the vetting. Atoss' vetting clearly needs looking at.
Selection that requires the medical competencies in the job description to be met before being able to carry out esa assessments.
What evidence do you have to suggest Atoss' vetting clearly needs looking at? Clearly would suggest this evidence is readily available. Strange then, it's not referenced.0 -
I'm clueless about blogs - can't work out how to start a blog, so piggybacked onto this one - sorry. Also clueless about money matters. Need advice.
I have a 25 yr Life policy for £27,000 which is due to mature in just over 2 years. I've been told by the company now that, while the surrender value would be about £14,000, the maturity value would be £32-35,000. Is this likely, in this day and age? Is it likely there would be such a huge difference between the one and the other? This policy was taken out to cover a mortgage and I've been getting told over the years, like so many others, that the policy was unlikely to cover the original amount.
Any advice welcome. Thanks0 -
OK, you don't agree. But it's a fact they're there to contribute to benefits eligability by way of assessment, not cure or even diagnose medical conditions, rather assess what can be done in relation to working.
No, it's not a fact - but what's your own experience of these assessments that enables you to state it as fact?You appear not to like this fact, don't you?
Because it's not a fact. But what's your own experience of these assessments that enables you to state it as fact?0 -

Covered already. But what hasn't been covered already is what your own experience of these assessments is.That and the fact atos are bound by regulations that state the contrary.
Which regulations in particular are you referring to? Do you have experience in working with these regulations, especially in relation to whatever your own experience with those assessments are?0 -
But then those doing the vetting require competencies suitable to allow them to carry out appropriate selection.
Such as? Is experience of assessments one of them?Selection that requires the medical competencies in the job description to be met before being able to carry out esa assessments.
Experience of assessments wouldn't be one of them, would it? Is that experience that you have?What evidence do you have to suggest Atoss' vetting clearly needs looking at? Clearly would suggest this evidence is readily available. Strange then, it's not referenced.
Nice to see you're now calling them Atoss as well - must be catching.:D
What evidence do you have in relation to what the assessment process is like/involves? Do you have experience of these assessments?0 -
Facts you don't wish to hear. Nevertheless they are facts.No, it's not a fact
Because it's not a fact.
But not evidenced.Covered already.
The ones stated in the earlier reference. I'll let you read them in your own time.Which regulations in particular are you referring to?0 -
It is not necessarily a prerequisite in selection processes for the panel to have the same skills as the candidates they are vetting. An understanding of the job objectives and selection against those would suffice. That said many panelists would also have the skills and prerequisites of the job they are selecting for.Such as? Is experience of assessments one of them?
Merely a cut and paste of your bile. Not that you'd understand the inference, even if spelt out for you again.Nice to see you're now calling them Atoss as well - must be catching.:D
Hope not. I wouldn't wish to catch such a bad dose of spewed up bitterness hated and bile.0 -
Atos in my experience were brill.....courteous, respectful, polite, welcoming....as stated......my experience0
