:eek: :cry:
Had my call up letter from ATOS for my ESA review. Just can't wait off to see my gp tues to discuss with him and get a letter of support from him.
What doesn't make sense is they put on the covering letter do not send supporting docs with this form yet the form says send with it. Which one is it?
After they look at my form they will decide if they need to see me or not :shock: great Just got that over My head as well now.

    Saw my GP back from his hols today. :grin:
    He has no problem doing the letter for me he says with my co morbid conditions and considered amount of difficulties he sees no reason why they should need to re assess me as my condition has deteriorated as well as collected a few more conditions since I last was assessed by ATOS and they scored me high enough then.

    He also asked if DSS had been calling me as apparently alot of patients have been receiving calls (especially those on Incapacity benefit iM on ESA) and the calls were what he considered bullying tactics. :shock:

    Its not like the paltry £90 per week makes that much difference but my mortgage insurance for disability always ask and what is the outcome from DSS?? and I need my mortgage insurance :cry: Who in their right mind would give up a £500+ per week job to go on £90 pr week unless they actually had no choice and I miss my job. I didnt realise it before but it made me feel whole :cry: HIndsight is such a wonderful thing :lol:

    Hope all is well as it can be and thankyou for your support
