Basicaly it means a company called ATOS will phone you and force you back to work sooner than your GP wants you to, your GP has your health at heart, ATOS has the money RM pay them at heart, most advice that ATOS give your DOM will be ignored as once you are back your DOM will work you like a dog as he will tell you that what ATOS told you and him is just a guide :cuppa

As said above ATOS are idiots working for RM getting you back to work as early as possible NO MATTER WHAT YOUR GP SAYS .

When i was off they told me after 3 weeks off i was fine . I went back 10 weeks later . Just tell ur GP what they are forcing you to do and he will sort it .
