So sorry to hear of your ordeal at the hands of capita, from what you say it would seem that its not got any better "the customer service" we receive.
Sounds just as bad as atos, I am guessing the treatment is the same, probably with the same staff that worked for atos now just wear a different badge logo.
Do hope you get a favorable result, hope yourself and your wife recover very soon.
Regards, Derek.

To try and clear up some confusion that the Mods have introduced to this topic, this was an ESA assessment carried out by ATOS.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Thanks that's brilliant. I will to hear on a decision first, I don't want to risk delaying things further. I know what they're like.
I'm so glad atos have quick the contract, I don't think I could attend another assessment like that with them! Capita was completely different. I found the nurse much more friendly and I was much more comfortable with her.

The panel Doctor asked probing questions, but they were relevant. Unlike the ATOS home assessment where it was just a stumble performance of leading questions. Then full of mistakes re factual matters eg location of family! Then the terrible handwriting, which still to this day have no idea 99% of it.
I was lucky in that the tribunal folk asked me questions that were relevant and it was more of a chat than being on edge. The Doctor by his response was fully aware the complications etc I expressed. Where as ATOS, I was fine due to a clean appearance etc. Talk about stero typing .
Hope you get it sorted and can understand how you feel. Really is terrible.

Hi charlie, thanks for the reply. I'm so sorry you've been through what you have but I'm glad you've fought it!
It makes me sick to think they are passing people as fit just because they look after themselves!
I felt like it's been one big fight and reading people's advice here and other places I made sure I didn't shave for nearly a week before hand! It's disgusting that we have to resort to doing that
Almost feels underhand and you have to play them at their own game!
