I'm really fed up! As expected though, ATOS have failed me in the medical. Going to tribunal, but I only found out when they wrote and asked for a medical certificate which was late. Phoned to find out what they wanted as the letter didn't make sense and the girl told me that its because I have failed. I'm going to appeal, I think but I'm not sure that it will get me anywhere and the last time I appealed I got into such a state that I coudn't go, but I won the appeal anyway! Sue

Sue, I am so sorry this has happened. I do hope you appeal as you know you need to. You won the last time so why not this time.
Ask for a copy of all reports when you appeal and see what they have written, its freedom of info act and they are not allowed to write anything derogatory about you or things that are untrue.
This may help.
Take care hun, am here if you need to talk. XxClare xx0 -

I really do wish you well with it all.Love

I'm sorry you got this news. However, you are in a much better position this time round, you know how to appeal, you have some knowledge of the system. As our Toni, says, regroup, take your time but get that letter off to appeal soon though, is there a time limit?
We are right behind you on this and please let us help you in anyway possible. I am gobsmacked how our govt are treating us! Do we enjoy being ill and living off benefit? No, oh and contact your MP about it too.

hi Sue,
i am so sorry they are putting you through this yet again...they are not good folk at all!
You know we all are behind you and will lend you as much strength as you need don't you? Fingers crossed it will be easier for you this time. hang in there. luv Cris xx0 -
Sue, don't let them grind you down. I know the whole system is up in the air and ATOS are coming in for some real stick, and rightly so. Big deep breath, gather all the information you can, including a copy of their report, ask GP to highlight any glaring omissions and go to appeal. Thousands are going through to appeal, which is completely choking the system and a high proportion of those who appeal, win their case without question. Says something for ATOS.
Take care and keep us posted, xx BubblesXX Aidan (still known as Bubbles).0 -
