Ask Atos Healthcare disability assessment questions

ebsay

Atos are your assessors on peace work?

You can still watch the C4 Dispatches expose of Atos here

You have to register as it's over 30 days old but well worth the effort just to remind you of what atos are really like and to see they have targets!

Given the non-appearance of the Atos PR Rep today are we to assume they've gone home and taken their ball with them!!

What training do ATOS give to doctors that fill in the forms that get sent to the DWP?

It's a tick box assessment controlled a computer which also delivers the final report.

Not helping those that take it off the sick and disabled.

Yes we have, I suggest you go back and check the very few responses from this Atos PR person.

Done that, and we haven't learnt this.

The rep isn't here to respond to propaganda about targets etc.

Maybe the words your atos mate used were too long or complicated for you to understand but they are there.

Nothing really has changed though and the atos computer still tells the so called "healthcare' professional" what questions to ask then puts together a "balanced" report for the so called "healthcare' professional" to send off to the DM.

Anyway where is this Atos PR Rep or have they morphed into Fridge3!!!

It would - Atoss' original 'area of expertise' (tee hee!) was in I.T.

And as at least two of their previous business clients can tell you, they were no good for that either.
