Ask Atos Healthcare disability assessment questions

Redman_2

I have been following this thread with interest, and if anyone believes that they are going to receive any type of meaningful response, I am afraid that they are deluded.

ATOS PR tried to get a "Spot" on Benefits & Work, and were sent on their way.

"ASK ATOS ON MONEY SAVING EXPERT FORUM

Readers may remember that some months ago we were approached by a public relations company on behalf of Atos, who wanted to have the right to reply on the Benefits and Work forum. We sent them one test question on recording medicals and that was the last we ever heard from them. Atos have, however, managed to get their ‘Company representative’ a spot on the Money Saving Expert Forums where they are attracting a certain amount of animosity for allegedly producing more PR than genuine information."

Great speech by Michael Meacher MP telling it how it is with ATOS/DWP
This vile inhumane treatment of the sick and disabled must not be allowed to continue.
This has been allowed to go on far far too long.
ATOS OUT
CONDEMS OUT
NOW:mad:

I watched the debate and am gob-smacked at how Atos are allowed to get away with treating the most vulnerable in society in such an inhumane manner all of which is condoned by the DWP and this government!

Absolutely shocking but not suprised!

Although I agree with what your saying I also would say that this site http://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk charges far too much for so little, but each to their own.

I wasn't touting for Benefits & Work, the article in the newsletter is relevant and has open access

Yes, and it would appear that public awareness regarding ATOS is growing, which can only be a good thing.

I even found this article on The MSN Homepage.

I think £19'ish a year is damn good value considering what dark forces you have plotting against you and what you can end up getting in terms of what you're entitled to, still it's horses for courses. It's also a hell of a lot cheaper than someone paying an accountant to help them pay as little tax as they can!

Anyway, it seems then this "Atos Rep" person may not be who they claim to be and are from a PR company!! That may expalin the very selective questions they have attempted to answer and the PR'esk style responses!!

Perhaps MSE can ask them for their credentials

I agree with each to their own remark.

However i pesonally believe £9 per year is not a lot for having all the info you need in one convenient place and not having to move outside your front door.


It would cost us £5+ to get to my nearest cab.

As this is a Q & A thread, I suppose I had better pose a question to the "ATOS Rep"

Do you have any comments on the cases of injustice and death, that were brought up in the "ATOS and The WCA Debate", held in The Main Chamber of The House of Commons this afternoon, Thursday 17/01/13 ?

Taking into account all comments, as the annual subs are £19.45, it works out at 37.4p/week.
