Well atos can kiss my hairy arse unfortunately I have been diagnosed with cancer hope next time they ring they don't ask me stupid questions like they did the last time,can I stand up ,can I sit down,have i been shopping,I thought is it a trick question lol if I'm not standing I'm usually sitting you could tell she was reading from a script and the questions were thick and fast as if they are trying to catch you out any way the upshot was that she thought I wasn't fit for work that was the week before I was diagnosed,got to wait til Tuesday to get the results of a c.t scan,my manager has said they will probably ring me some time after Tuesday can't wait lol,depending on the results I just don't want to be written off by work too quickly I know we all moan about it but I wish I was out on delivery now I think I'd even go over,no your right I'm getting carried away

All the best mate I hope it isn't too bad,I've had 2 mates diagnosed with it,I won't go into to many details but both are doing great,1 got IHR he wanted it,1 had 2 years off but is still working on delivery and getting on fine,good luck pal.

One of our lads had dealings with them and they were a nightmare. Overruled almost everything his doctor had said. He described them as a bunch ATOSsers.
well I found it amusing

They can't over rule your GP.
If your doctor says it takes 4 weeks r+r, but ATOS say light duties, I'd merely respond that I'll be taking the opinion of my GP. If they insist, I'd just inform the doctor and get a sick note from them to cover the necessary time.

too many atos stories floating about with work capability assessments. one male was asked do you go to the pub? he replied yes, i take my father for a pint on sundays before dinner. atos translated this as "spends weekends at pub" and fit for work. atos apparently harrassed a disabled lady during a home visit and it was recorded. but everytime the video goes up on the internet, it mysteriously vanishes
