Hi maxiu
Thanks for your post. Contacting us directly, which you say you’ve done, is the best way for the various concerns you have about your assessment to be looked into. You should have received an acknowledgement within the first couple of days (if you haven’t try checking back with us using the address in my profile), and you will get a full response within the next few weeks.
To address your main concerns in general terms. The physiotherapist that did the assessment is doing a different job to the surgeons and consultants you see. Whilst they are trying to diagnose and treat your conditions, our HCPs are using what you and your surgeons say to identify what you can and can’t do in terms of the ESA criteria. Regarding recording your assessment, we can record assessments, but this needs to be requested in advance. Apologies if this wasn’t clear. If you were advised differently by us that will be looked into as part of your complaint.“Official Company Representative

If you look at another thread on here, posted by The House of Commons rep today, there is yet another enquiry starting into ATOS performance, and the DWP concerns about it, and the committee is looking for contributions, from claimants, to it.
Might be worth sending them details of your experience.

You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset.
