Atos what a joke
ATOS? Sorry you are asking if suicide is the only answer, it isn't the only answer but to feel this way must be really horrible. Let us know if we can help in anyway
You are kind thank you. I feel so depressed it's hard to feel positive about anything
They don't care no one cares I'm sorry but I have no faith in the system there is no hope.
Do you have someone who can go with you - if you attend the appointment you have a chance things will remain the same - not going it’s a guaranteed no.
Go along be yourself explain things and if it gets stopped at least you can appeal.
I remember seeing a news story once about this woman who had, had a stroke it showed her trying to turn on a tap with her arms cause she had no use of her hands but she was declared fit for work! This system is so messed up its unreal.

So sorry you feel the way you do, but as you say if you don't fill in the forms your money will stop and this could cause more problems with your financial situation, debt and more worries. Seems illogical to not to go to the appointment and then await the decision. Why not, try to get the best advice you can to aid the possibility of getting the answer you deserve.
