The joy of atos.

Well, after winning my appeal I've been hauled into atos again.

I rely a lot on lip reading, she actually kept covering her mouth with a tissue, so that was a great start.


Next she tried to argue that the tablets I have aren't mine, I had the repeat prescription thing and the boxes. She said "they don't give those two tablets together". Well, the G.P has this time. I have one tablet that I can take up to four in a day, she asked how many a day I take, I said two in the morning, so she started going on that the box said one, I said if you read the label properly it states one four times a day.


Then she decides I'm the climb on the examining table, you seen the height of them? Use the step up she says. I'm having two ops on my knees this year, op number one in a few weeks time. I asked if I fell off would she catch me and she barked a "no!" at me, I only asked, lol.


Like I say, I'm going for an op on my knee in a few weeks, she asked me to hold my arms out and do a "few" squats!!! I mean is she having a laugh? That's not even something the physio has ever asked me to do, in fact the total opposite. I'm no spring chicken either.


She said she wouldn't force me but, and the but hung in the air, I said there is no way I could actually do that. She tried to get me to try, there's no way I could have done squats, I'd have keeled over in no time.


I was talking to a friend and they said that this will go down as a refusal, i just know I'll be back to square one.


Just needed a bit of a moan, sorry folks.

It can be really hard to know what's been written.
I would strongly advise phoning up the DWP in a couple of days, on the number on your letters, and requesting a copy of the medical.

Unbelievable. I have long been an advocate of launching a complaint against the HCP if they have acted outside the standards you'd expect of the treatment you would get in hospital and during their "normal" work.

If they have been a pain to you, you affect their normal working life.

My mothers a nurse, she tells me of the major problems HCP's have when a complaint is made to the exact governing body. It affects everything, even their promotion prospects for years to come.
