Hi All
Can someone explain to me who these monkeys are from ATOS? are they the rejects that no one wanted...:D
I recently went to an assessment in Guildford and had already submitted consultants reports about my degenerative disc condition in which I am in a lot of pain most every day and am flying high on medication, if I aint flying ...Im normally crashed for long hours...
Yet I received a letter to day from the DWP who have decided from the ATOS assessment that @ Fit for work..
Cant quite understand it as bending/ lifting/ aggravates the problem along with sitting or standing for to long aggravates it also....and I am still undergoing medical treatment, spinal injections in March followed by CBT
So with this in mind what the hell am I fit for and what job out there would an employer mind me taking time off and having very few good days where I could work.
I have phoned DWP to appeal but am I wasting my time, what I found a joke was the women at DWP just told me " You'll have to get your self better for work" but Ive been like this 12 months, so if Im not entitled to ESA, I cannot certainly claim JSA as my current back issue would restrict...and my last employers ended my employment contract after 18 years cos of this back problem...
Which way to I turn now, it would seem this so called safety net that I thought was there, isnt
