    Correction - MOST of them in that call don't know what the word 'euthanasia' means.

    For a alleged healthcare firm (tee hee!), that's pretty disturbing.

    Im suprised most of them manage to tie their shoelaces on a morning.
    [greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that

    Well, Atoss must hold the public in even lower regard than I first thought, if that's the best they can do in terms of customer service.
  • Just goes to show what kind of people are carrying out our medicals and what a surprise the regular people on this forum who make out the ATOS are angels and never make bad reports have not posted in this thread, it would not suprise me at all if we had atos hcp's that regularly post on this forum probably the same ones who constantly interrogate any body who asks a question that relates to atos.
  • It's quite clear that these people hold their "clients" in contempt! The so called "health care professional" at my assessment actually lied about some of the things I told her and put down the opposite. Also, she did not know the name of a simple antihistamine that was on my list of drugs. Because of this I did not score enough points and had to take my case to a tribunal, which I won. The DWP have told me I may have to wait 5 or 6 weeks to get my benefit reinstated, funny, they must have got the letter the same time that I did? Or is it the fact that so many people get their cases upheld in front of an IMPARTIAL judge?!

    I think it's disgusting and the HCPs should be sacked and all of their previous examinations looked at to ensure fairness.

    As for the rest, one of my colleagues once wrote a rant on facebook about shoppers being cheap and ignorant a*seholes. He got sacked. Does that mean that Asda think all shoppers are cheap and ignorant a*rseholes? No it means that he thought it.

    I think its disgusting behaviour from someone who ought to know better. I thought to be an assessor you had to be a medical professional? if these are the kind of people in charge of people's health i seriously worry
