Having been signed off from work since October I have had lots of dealings with these idiots. The company that I work for uses these cretins for occy health and try to get you back to work


I recently had a 'meeting' with my line manager where she insisted that speaking to one of Atos councilors could help with my depression. I agreed to this and was informed that Atos would phone me on Friday morning at 8 o'clock. Well...........
This person phoned at a little after eight and I was quite looking forward to talking to someone to be honest. It turns out that this woman had not phoned about counciling at all, she admitted that she was not trained to be a councillor either. She said that my company had contacted Atos to review when I was coming back to work.
As you can imagine I was not happy and I mentioned how annoyed I was that Atos and my employers are obviously not communicating properly about my wellfare.
I agreed to answering her questions anyway and I also stated that I would be recording the consultation as proof for my employers.
At that she said that she was not prepared to continue, that she would be closing the case and contacting my employer too with her findings.
I said ok thankyou and goodbye. There is no way that I am prepared to be retired on ill health grounds by someone asking questions generated by a computer


Got a call from my area manager later that day accusing me of slamming the phone down on Atos


Complete load of ballcocks.
Anyway we discussed my version of events which were totaly different to theirs, I have requested a grievence be started too. We also discussed ill health retirement to where I stated that I will not consider ill heath retirement until I have been to the pain clinic in February and exhausted all treatments.
Can anyone advisese if they have had these problems.
