Have you ever googled your ATOS person?

The ATOS person who did my OH's assessment is a GP & Police Surgeon. Hubby is also a GP and they are both members of a Rotary Club and live in a bloody huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge house.

But why would she travel 200 miles to do an ATOS assessment?

    @ about 80p per mile that's £160 before they even earn from the service provided.

    Millions of people travel long distances for their jobs - that's life when you want / need to earn a living.

    I don't see what the assessor's house or club membership has to do with anything either.

    No point in being bitter - life is a lottery.

    P.S. The Rotary Club does a lot of fabulous charity work...

    Quite.
    Do I care how much the assessors earn, what their race is, what clubs they belong to, or how tall they are - absolutely not.
    I care about if they do an accurate job, with correct and sensible reports made.
