Atos assessment on friday

I recently have had a letter to attend atos this friday for a assessment to move from ib to esa,

I suffer from anxiety depression and a stammer, i have been for two before and failed one and won appeal but it was an awful ordeal having to sign on while it was getting sorted and after reading some threads i am so worried about getting made to look like a liar and having to go through this all again,

I filled the questionaire in myself but didnt go the doctors for a report or anything, should i have done?

    Good luck for Friday, I had a taxi provided and doctosr notes and they never helped. If you are found fit for work appeal it and get welfare rights to help you.

    If the worst comes to the worst and you are refused ESA, you can continue to be paid the assessment rate while you appeal if you submit 'fitnotes' from your GP - you do not have to claim JSA.
