Hi d/l,

Just looked back on your previous posts.

I would have expected you to have heard something after 5 months.

You can contact ATOS, and ask them whether they have completed a paper assessment, and returned your file with recommendations back to The DWP.

Phone: 0800 2888 777 or 0113 230 9175

If they have returned your file to The DWP, you should contact them on the 0845 number on any letters that you may have.

You will initially speak to a DWP Call Centre Responder, so you might have to request an escalation to a Manager/Supervisor, this might involve a call back.

Hi d/l,

If that was ATOS that you spoke to, it is unacceptable that they should make such comments after having your ESA50 for 5 months.

If you receive an adverse decision, it could be argued that the information used is not current.

It is up to you, but if you wish to pursue this with ATOS, I would recommend that you do so in writing by e-mail, rather than over the phone.
