They can offer advice on filling in the questionnaire to ensure Podmore receives what he is entitled to. They have lots of experience.

If you have a computer key in guide to completing the ESA form, I found a few excellent sites after I'd posted mine back!! Don't expect a quick reply, I've been waiting 6 weeks now to hear back from them!!

six weeks is about right for a reply then they may put you up for ATOS meeting maybe 3 months and if you fail that ( It does not mean they are Right!) you have 4 weeks to lodge appeal and in my case 15 months for tribunal meeting which I won.

If you have to attend the ATOS interview ,take a friend to take notes and to be your witness.

Any medical notes from doctor or consultant is worth taking and asking them to copy and retain. or even better copy and give to them and with your witness/helper to confirm that they had them.

Got my ATOS questionnaire today,claiming they already sent one 14 days ago.

It has to be back to them by 5th September.

Spent 4 hours reading all the questions,and decided it was so stupid,I ripped it up and put it in the bin.

Can I pick up an empty box ?

Was it the box the Space shuttle came in ?

Can I go to a place I have never been before without help ?

Not on your life as I would have no idea how to get there for a start.

I am tired of being beaten by the scum that have not a clue what its like.

If they want to stop my benefits,then I shall be dead within a week as I cant pay for 28 items on a prescription.

Found out that Bolton Council actual admit that they make up figures on what you need to live on.

They have full government support to pay or not any discretionary housing payments.Based solely on what some jumped up member of the Nazi party thinks disabled people should have to spend.

Tired of being ill,and even more tired of being made to feel like scum.

Have stopped my diabetes meds and pain killers.

Not sure I have the strength or will to keep on trying to justify why I need money to buy food.

Sorry about the rant,just at breaking point and to tired of it all.
