I have read on the Forum about these and have recieved on today i have rang up Steve Bailey for Newcastle wellfare rights. He has said the nearly everyone he has dealings with is getting these forms. More than likely due to the huge cock up the government has caused in the transition from incapacity benifet. I had to go to appeal to get what is in reality allready due to me. I am just sick of the whole situation. RA has so much to answer for I just wish i could go back to being a normal (if there is such a thing) living and working. The amount of medication I take is trully unbeliveable to most people. I can get you down just trying to list it never mind taking the bloody stuff every day and to add insult to injury (literally) you get these stupid forms that only cause more stress. I hope that in the future they can sort out this bloody mess that Us disabled people feel we have to prove at there will. when we already have consultants reports doctors report medical assesments and any of the other crap we go through on a regular basis. I am sorry for turning this into a rant loads more no room :x :x :x :x

    Totally agree with you John and feel free to rant away, trust me i've done it with regard to ATOS etc. These people make me so damned angry and depressed i'm not quite sure what i'm likely to do if i get summoned apart from tell to shove their medicals where the sun don't shine, then again i ain't doing myself any favours am i?
    Come the glorious revolution, they'll be first against the wall,Power to the disabled!!

    Hi John,
    the system sucks!! If they took notice of all the doc reports etc they would be able to save time and money on pointless reassessments and concentrate on finding the real scroungers!!
    Feel free to rant.

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    Sorry to say i've been saying the same thing for a while now Val,but what can we do. No point contacting your MP (or even Osbourne) as they have'nt got the decency to even bother to reply. Why because as you say we're an easy target and we will be used as sacrificial lambs when the need arises. Maybe a few demonstrations in our home towns may help but then they'd say if we're fit enough to demonstrate we're fit enough to work! :x

    Hi

    The whole system sucks. It would save a lot of hassle and precious time if they simply contacted our doctors/specialists about the degenerative effects of arthritis on an individual. I don't think they realise how painful arthritis is or how physically draining it can be.

    This system lacks organisation and wastes time and money.

    Send an email to every tv, radio station and newspaper that you can think of, both local and national, whether you read/listen to them or not. Just sitting there wailing about it among ourselves works in Atos/DWP's favour. I know that a radio station or newspaper asking the questions is far more meaningful than an individual. But they need the impetuous to be started by YOU.

    Email them NOW, don't leave it to someone else.
