DLA MEDICAL REPORT

with reference to my previous posts regarding DLA,i have now received the copy of the ATOS report,its almost laughable if it wasnt so serious.
I had to look two or three times at it because it seems to be about a different person,the HCP seems to have ignored what i told him and written something completely different.e.g i said i have not been able to cook a meal for three years,his response is"can cook and prepare her own meals".
one other observation is the fact my name and national insurance nuimber are only on the front sheet not the rest of the report.
I can apparently walk 150 -200 meters despite me informing the HCP i could not walk more than a few steps.My diabetes is under control he said,even though i have poor control and can prove that from letters from my diabetologist.Also he says there is no evidence of heart disease despite my havinbg two heart attacks and angina.
most of the report is totally illegible and i have requested a typed transcript.

without going into all of the mistakes as you see them ... where you have said I can not walk more than a few steps

did he say you said can apparently walk 150 -200 meters

or did he say he thinks/feels you can walk 150 meteres plus becasuse if he did then he is able to make his own mind up and you need to get your drs to back up your postion on this and other points you raised.. i would get expert advise and show the report to my GP

Sorry to hear that your Atos Medical didn't go well, same happened to me & many people who use the site...doesn't matter what you say they know best, yes even better than trusted medical professionals, like proper doctors and nurses who do know best.
Get your appeal in.
Best Wishes

Hi Jackie,

Any document or report is inadmissible if it is incomplete or illegible.

So the Decision Maker shouldn't have accepted it. A Tribunal certainly would refuse to accept it.

Good luck.

Thanks Kriss,i am definitely going for an appeal,i have medical evidence to prove the information i gave on my original form is correct.

Jackie.

Thanks Jim,
i am hopeful i will receive a typed tramscript of the report sooner rather than later.
