they work on the basis that you have a " good " doctor , RM come out with all this BS about " removing the barriers " - there has been letters sent out couched in all this fake " caring " corporate cr** which can all be boiled down to - " You can't really prove you are / have so you are guilty of swinging the lead " .

You've also got medical expert managers that have never left the playground , asking leading questions which require the " right " RM answers from " incentivized " ATOS .

The problem is that a fair few NHS GP's / Consultants don't take too kindly to being dictated to by RM / ATOS for some reason , when you have " voluntarily " given permission .

Why would ATOS want a second phone consultation? would it be because i have just put another sick note in? Who would want me to have a second consultation? the dom? if so , why?
