ESA ATOS medical

After receiving ESA assessment rate since May 2009 I finally went for a medical yesterday. It took so long because the DWP 'forgot' to put my claim forward for a medical - that's just one of the problems i've had with them. I've also completed all of my pathways interviews.

Well, I used your downloadable advice to complete the form and yesterday all of the questions I was asked were directly related to what I had written. I was panicking about it but there were no trick or random questions as I've heard others have had.

I know I still have to wait for the result but have others experienced something similar or am I just lucky (so far)?

Hi MammaT,

I'm not sure I would describe having been abandoned in the assessment phase for over a year as lucky!

But it does sound like your work capability assessment has got off to a better start than most. Fingers crossed that the medical report is as good as the medical itself.

Good luck,

Steve
