ESA "PATHWAYS TO WORK" SCHEME

I had something like this happen to me too the advisor was not interested in my medical complaints or problems and just wanted to get me into work.
On the last interview I developed Ulcerative colitis and ended up in hospital I could not complete my last interview as I was so sick I have now been re-assessed by ATOS and awaiting the result.

My view is the JCP team have hidden agendas and the private companies are just interested in profit.

I would like to thank Crazydiamond,DepressedDerek and Tommo for their helpful posting.

I understand that Atos are bidding for the proposed new DWP Work Plan being rolled out in summer 2011 which will apply to those on JSA and ESA or should that be Universal Credit?

the "outsource" provider of my "Pathways to Work" scheme telephoned me last week and informed me
- my future "work-focusssed interview had been deferred
- the proposed appointment for an assessment their
Support Specialist had been indefinitely cancelled

The "outsourced" provider was not able to make a profit from their continuing input - I have been abandoned!!

they will then get someone to take on the task for less money could well be a company run by poles or all interviews will be by phone with a company based oversea

That's fine you've been what they call in the trade 'Parked' .. So just relax...
