Most Definately ... The more people who have fibro complain the better ... It seems a good chance to get our point across... The worst that can happen nothing changes... If we don't bother to tell watchdog .. Nothing will change so anyone with an ATOS story I urge you to take the time to contact them.... Can you email them Mo ???

If you have the contact details could you please post them so everyone can get in touch...

I would like to complain - I was assessed at the same centre (Southend on sea ) as the poor lady with the lung/heart transplant problem. However, although I am appealing the decision (still waiting to hear) I am a little reluctant to forward my name and address details in case it goes against me. I am sorry to sound like a coward - and I HAVE complained to ATOS about the nurse but to go public - I am afraid that it will prejudice my case. Any advice?

If no one complains then ATOS will never change ... And by sending your story to watchdog you will be adding to what I guess will be a lot of complaints ... Together we make a difference ... Alone its a lot harder

But no one here will say you must tell your story

TBH - I don't actually think watchdog will name each individual, it's a collective complaint x like VG said if each of us says and does nothing, nothing is ever going to change, in fact things will probably get worse x

For a complaint against Atos to be aired on the BBC, I think WD need at least 2 thousand complaints before they investigate.
