ATOS physio referal

Post by Postie558 »

Following an injury and a few weeks off work, ATOS have referred me for physio at a local practice. Does anyone know if I'll have to pay for this myself?

They've never offered me physio, I had to go and see my GP who then referred me. I wonder if they will pay for my knee op to go private :hmmmm

If you're still off work I think RM refer you. I was back at work when it was suggested I needed physio so I had to ask my GP.

Mine was an AOD too. Never really thought about compo because I didn't want to rock the boat at work. Also, although it was ruled to be an industrial accident by the DWP and none blameworthy to me, I wonder how they'd prove RM were at fault? It was basically their sh*te footwear that caused me to slip at the slightest bit of damp on someone's path.
