I think if you have a story to tell he may be the one (I live in hope that there is an MP who cares). She starts it with -

'I am not sure if I am allowed to post this, my appoligies if am not but I have copy and pasted this from the facebook group ATOS miracles

Some one cares, someone wants to help! Share your stories.

This MP has written this to us.

Many thanks for contacting me

It is my intention to build up a dossier of ATOS cases which I can make use of in the future to argue for radical changes to the present unfair and incompetent system. In particular, I will be calling for a full Parliamentary debate on ATOS through the procedure of the Backbench Business Committee (likely to be in January 2013) and I am also seeking a meeting with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Iain Duncan Smith MP.

The more of you who email him with personal stories the greater the weight of argument. Many of you have told us, now tell him '

That is it word for word as posted

Kindest regards

Terry
