Ask Atos Healthcare disability assessment questions

Final question.
How is it possible for ATOS to declare a person Unfit for work during a Occupational Health Assessment for any of the Government departments they provide the service to (including the staff at DWP), and then find the same person Fit for Work under the WCA?
It seems to me you are dipping your fingers into too many pies. It is certainly a conflict of interest.
Just so it is one question in one post.
Also includes the NHS,
What is your answer ATOS rep?
I think it may be something like this:

It had no link, It was not to long and I have no idea why.0 -

Just a reminder of the original remit.
Subjects it can answer questions on include:
• Clarifications about the Work Capability Assessment questionnaire
• Appointments/Assessments
• Travel and travel expenses to the assessment
• Home visits
• Health Care Professionals and their qualifications (but not specific individuals)
It won't be able to answer questions on:
• The policy for decisions itself (DWP is responsible for this, not Atos)
• The appeals process
• The DWP staff who made the decision
• Questions that would need your personal details
• It can obviously only answer questions on the parts of the ESA Work Capability Assessment it carries out.
Thanks!
So MSE has sold out,
It only wont's ATOS to to do it's good PR work on here and not answer any real Questions.
I notice that when martin was trying to take the bank's to court for there wrong doing over the miss sale of PPI they were not invited on here to defend themselves.
We now have a company posting on here that our own MP's have debated about the abuse and wrong doing's. But we are not allowed to ask "it" any real questions.
The ATOS re mitt for being here to too only answer questions that you can find the answer to on there our web site.
Seems point less,,
MSE have always said that it's advert free! What are atos paying you for being given a "free" voice on your web site ? Because you seem to only wont them to come over as a good and helpful company. When in real life they are far from that.
I would like to point out that no one that has posted has been rude to the atos rep! We have not given them any abuse at all.
We have respected there right to post here and talk to us.
Our only bug bear is that they are yet to answer any gritty questions but we live in hope that there pay masters will let them answer one or two of them one day.:jYou can have everything you wont in lfe, If you only help enough other people to get what they wont.:j0 -
I wonder if 'it' has been PMing the MSE forum team and complaining.........?
Or something worse! :eek:
Next on the list,
MSE will be removing our posts that ATOS dose not like.
Then MSE will be giving us warning to behave or be PPRed:jYou can have everything you wont in lfe, If you only help enough other people to get what they wont.:j0 -
I think some of you are being unfair to MSE. This is a trial remember. And only questions in certain categories can be answered.
Although my questions have been answered in said categories, I do see plenty that are not. I can certainly understand people's frustrations with this company. But in the spirit of keeping within the rules, let's stick to the questions for the categories listed.
I feel as strongly as the rest of you guys that ATOS are not fit for purpose when it comes to the WCA, which in itself is not fit for purpose, but do believe that we should stick to the rules on here. The list of what was allowed and not was in Andrea's first post.4 Stones and 0 pounds or 25.4kg lighter :j0 -

Hi Gareth56, the evidence won’t be disregarded as part of the Work Capability Assessment.
But it is. Routinely and repeatedly.
Anything relevant to the ESA descriptors will be taken into account along with any other information that is available.
Shame that that's not actually true.0 -
Funnily enough Andrea the 2 questions I asked on day of creation were both relating to the assessment and still no reply has been given. Maybe it's about time you pull the thread down or tell the Atos rep to start answering the questions still awaiting a response. You asked them several days ago to answer the older questions that have simply been ignored and I think they answered one or two then went back to answering current posts again. Even then with reposting the questions numerous times they still continue to be ignored.
If Atos are not going to supply answers then maybe the post should be shut down as they are just making everyones opinion of them even worse than it already is.
It would be far better if Atoss themselves should be shut down.0 -

Yep - they are. Like the government that recruited them in the first place, and the government who are keeping them in.0
