I think i must be the only person who is actually desperate to go to their ATOS assessment!

The thing is i've been on ESA for just over 12 months and am still on the Assessment Rate! before it didn't bother me or, rather, i was happy enough not to have to go to my medical. However, i've just done my sums and the amount the DWP owe me due to being underpaid is about £1300. Now, ordinarily that's a lot of money, but it just so happens that i am currently about £1000 behind on my rent. The irony. I am very close to being evicted from my flat, unless i can start paying chunks off.

I've contacted the DWP and they say i'm basically in the waiting pile with ATOS. I decided to phone ATOS myself and they said the same thing and couldn't give any sort of timeframe for this to get sorted.

I'm worried because, firstly i need to arrange an appointment, then i have to find a way of getting there when i can't even cross the road, then sit through their mundane drivel and then anxiously await for a reply, which, as we all know has a 50% chance at best of me being confirmed as unfit for work.
