hi all, just giving you an up date 2 weeks ago i broke my right wrist the OT came the other day with a bath lift for me so much better still need help but at last i can have a bath, the other thing is i got a letter from you know who yes ATOS HEALTHCARE what a laugh that is healthcare my arse to go for a medical on the 10th september well i rang them up canceled it rang DWP to complain as on the form i sent in i ask for my doctor to fill in any details they need to know about my conditions got told it may affect my claim how can that be i said i have freedom of choice and freedom of speech i have the right not to use this low life company to look and my medical records and for them to tell me am fit for work they don't know me from adam at leased i see my GP every month we have great doctors but DWP would spend more money on ATOS than give it to are GP'S so i would tell you all if you have a medical cancel it with atos and ring DWP YOU HAVE THE RIGHT NOT TO USE THIS COMPANY the more people cancel the more work DWP have to do
