Just received a letter from Atos saying that they have requested supporting evidence from one or more of the people that i have identified as being involved in my care to see if i need a f2f interview or not.

Has anyone else recieved this letter and if so how long did it take for them to decide whether or not you need a f2f assessment?

I received nothing from when I sent my form (oct 2013) until I got a f2f in april. others have experienced the same so I presume that they have improved their service by informing you but it may not mean that the process will be any quicker.

im a bit panicky after my f2f yesterday cant sleep and IBS is playing up bad , she spent 15-20mins asking me when i was diagnosed by my GP , all dates, when i went to see my therapist (bear in mind this spans over 8 years) who i saw, when i went my GP, was it him or the other 5-7 people (different GP's/ community mental health nurses/ therapists) ive seen over the years, when medication was issues first , looking back i was totally confused and cant even remember what i said properly. Just remember her saying 'if it all matches up with your GP, ect ,there will be no problem'

But she was asking all dates and i cant even think if they were 100% right :(

I find these questions a bit odd. I certainly don't remember every single date I've seen my GP or specialists.

mine was on the 7th april so I do think its just an automatically generated one, hopefully not to much longer now for both of us

Hopefully we all will get decisions soon !! Looks like DM'S got our claims within a few days of each other so once 1 person gets decision hopefully there will be a flurry of them and we will all get a decision within days of each other. Xx

I had my assessment on April the ninth and dwp got it back from atos on the fifteenth April, they Saud I'd have a decision in three weeks but that has passed and I swear if I don't get a decision next week, even if it's a no, I will lose my mind. They never call back, they don't write down/forward complains, I have contacted my local mp and today I'm writing a complaint better to both the dwp and to iain duncan Smith. If it's a no, I will accept it and move on to the next stage, I am not expecting to be awarded anything. I st cannot take the stress of jumping out of my skin every time the phone goes thinking it's them, and dreading the postman too, what kind of way is that to live. I feel especially bad for people who don't have help to do the forms who need support to do it correctly. After being turned down for dla three times, (the last time cab done my form and I just gave up after I was declined) I have learned to scour every website which offers help through this process and of course other people in the same boat, what about those who can get online or may have learning difficulties, problems with sight ect, it's very saddening and disappointing. The government will fork out millions to help other countries yet the poverty stricken in their own country are treated like rubbish. Good luck btw and sorry for ranting. I am seriously losing the will I've with this nonsense now :-( x
