ATOS what a joke

[wolfie citizen smith]

Who the F**K do they think they are...........
Had an Industrial Injury recently, however there seems to be a new way of working on how Atos works, or is it Royal Mail??????????
Anyway in the olden days, when you sign a consent form it clearly states whether you require a telephone consultation or not and when you clearly state that NO to this part, then Atos would honour this..........BUT oh how things have changed..... I recieved my telephone call to enquire when i would like my telephone consultation, when i stated i would like my face to face meeting, I was told that all are done via telephone.....Oh no no no no was my reply and suggested that they get back to Royal Mail and get there information right..... What A F**king Liberty

ATOS-this company
of clowns not only work for companies, but have a mega million pound contract with the D.W.P., and they muck that up too.
Do the same as me. Gooogle up their site, and lodge an official coplaint. They do reply.(If not fix out your problem)
Always take the name of the person you are talking too.,so you can point the finger!They seem to have an uncanny knack of
making already ill people even more stressed.Good Luck.

They are an absolute joke.
Had a `wish you where here` letter off the DOM,so went in (AGAIN)and told them all about my condition(AGAIN)and showed them a letter off my consultant that I wouldn`t be able to continue as a delivery postman and the DOM said ATOS would be ringing me up to arrange an appointment to finally see one of their quack doctors, presume they will want to finish me on ill health grounds... eh ho let`s go!
Two weeks go by and at last I get a phone call off them...are you avaliable for a telephone appointment

Spoke to the `advisor` from ATOS(AGAIN)this is now the 3rd telephone conversation I`ve had with them,went over the same ole ground...what`s up with you?...Are you on medication?..When will you be able to come back to work? She then tries to tell me that my condition isn`t covered under the DDA!
So I told her I was expecting your lot to phone but to arrange to see one of your quacks...DRONE>Why do you want to see a quack.?..Because I have a condition that isn`t going to get better and I have medical evidence to prove it for a start, and also so your quack can see what difficulties I have to face day to day...I can`t do that over a friggin phone!
So now I`m waiting AGAIN for another telephone call off them,whilst also expecting a `wish you where here`letter off the area manager.

Last time i had any dealings with ATOS was July 2007. I had a face to face with a person who was able to assess my injury without making a physical examination of my injured leg, without requesting any medical notes regarding my injury from my doctor and without talking to my doctor or my physio. At the face to face interview i was asked, what was my name, date of birth, how long i had worked for RM and similar banal questions.

Based on the interview i had, ATOS was able to write to my gaffer telling him that my doctor was correct in her diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of my injury, and yet the ATOS person's prognosis contradicted my doctors. Work that one out.

Since then my gaffer has asked me twice to attend an appointment with ATOS, regarding another health problem i have. My reply to him? I'm not interested in discussing my health with an unqualified, lying c***. I have offered to get my doctor to write a letter to my boss detailing my current medical condition, but he's not prepared to pay my doctors fees. Oh well that's his problem.

Back in 2003, I had an accident at work. I had to have an operation (Which I cancelled of my own accord as it was scheduled over the Xmas pressure, MUG,) to rectify it. It flares up all the time. I can t play squash now and gave up the gym because it just canes me all the time. Went sick with it about a month ago. I was fed up. ATOS phoned me. The conversation went something like this:

"So its your back is it?"

"No, its my shoulder. If you look at my medical history since i have been at RM, you will......." Interrupted..........

"Errrrrr, I haven t got your records here at the moment."
"OK what have you got?"

"Weeeeelll, your name, number and injury. Sent to me by your line manager".

But you said it was my back and it isn t , its my shoulder."

"OK, sorry about that. Anyway, your walk, do you use a trolley?"

"No, I can t, it would take 7 hours if I used one of those things. Are you saying that I shouldn t be carrying my bags then?"

"Well yes I am".

"OK then I will ask my DOM to test my walk using a trolley.This will be fun."

"Errrrrrrrrrrrr, let me see. 1st two bags down to 11 KGS. Thanks, bye Mr ******."
SHAMBLES.

Just an update.
This morning I finally received a letter off Atos granting me a face to face appointment with one of their quacks.
Thing is they spelt my name wrong,my address and said if I could not attend the appointment to get in touch with my Dom...they even spelt his name wrong as well!
Great company looking after our well being.
