Yet more waste of tax payers money!!!!

Atos have just called me to arrange another medical, I got my esa50 a few weeks ago and my health has got quite a bit worse since my medical earlier this year so I told them all the details in the form.

Also sent in a letter from my GP which was superb in its back up off my problems and very detailed about my problems and how they are affecting my life...I more or less told my wife I would not need to be called for a medical but they seem to want to waste more money by sending me for another medical. After some argument on the phone they are going to arrange a home medical shortly.

Just seems a crazy waste of money, I needed a home visit last time, I was placed in the wrag group but i have appealed the decision due to falling into a couple of the descriptors for the support group. My appeal will not be heeard until next year and I can see the way this crazy system works that I will have to appeal this next decision even before I have had my appeal for the last one.....Now that is plain CRAZY and a whole lot of money going to waste....

Frustrated

No, no, John, you're looking at it all the wrong way round - it's not a waste of money, it's profit, lovely profit for Atos.

Seriously, fingers crossed that this time they put you in the support group.
