Hi just wondering if this is normal procedure. Im currently of sick and have been for 3 months i have a condition called menieres disease which prevents me from doing my job i have been through all the atos procedures and recently seen a nurse and the had a phonecall with a doctor which he sent me a cooy of my report which said he doesnt think ill recover in 9 months and that he recommends ihr with lump sum. So my manager phoned yesterday and said i have to have another appointment with an aros doctor and told me just say what i said to the last doctor.i said to him whats the point of this as i have told atos doctor last week and he said im not going to recover. Is this normal? Whats the point?

Basically they are requesting a second opinion from another doctor at OH assist before considering your entitlement for IHR.

About 28 years ago I was working for an ESI and one of the guys had Meniere's Disease which if I recall has something to do with the inner ear and balance issues and he was paid off.
