    Atos Medical Assessment...

    I had an Atos Medical Assessment a few weeks ago and now I just got a letter through saying I am fit for work and therefore no longer entitled to Employment and Support Allowance. I want to appeal against this decision because there is still no way I can work at the moment what with my moods and attacks being so volatile. Has anybody else had to appeal this decision before? Were you successful?

    Re: Atos Medical Assessment...

    Just to say that I had to appeal against their decision that I was fit for work. It is very hard to get through with mental health problems on the first medical and well known by Citizens Advice Bureau and other agen cies that have to help people appeal.
    I won my appeal easily. I just had to provide some written 'evidence' and have a chat with a different Dr & lawyer. They were very much on my side, so don't worry too much about it. It's such a pain though and I do feel for you. Dang Government!

    Good luck

    My daughter has been ill since she was in school and she is 26 now she has no contact with anyone and spends 99.9% of her time in her bedroom and has been like this since she was taken ill (I have started a thread about it)

    I am glad you won your appeal that's one in the eye for them.

    And it seems that things are about to get worse with the new government too. They've said they're going to shake up the whole benefit system

    I am aware there some changes to take place, but it really isn't worth worrying about.
    In some ways benefit's are being re-named.
    Also changes to benefit's is a slow process and nothing is final and set in stone.
