Hi everyone I am new to this but thought I'd let you know my experience of atos medical,which I had in march and just received the 'official' letter today.I scored no points,even though I have fibromyalgia,psoriatic arthritis,degenerated disc disease,nerve entrapment,asthma,also carpel tunnel, underactive thyroid and high cholesterol.I found that the 'nurse' who did my medical tried to 'befriend' me,but when I received my report she lied over and over again and twisted everything I said,I received a phone call about 3 weeks ago from dwp informing me I had not received any points and therefore fit for work,I got the impression that she was on my side and believed everything I said,however in her report today I have found out my esa was stopped on 14th may,after reading other peoples experience on this and tribunals I feel as if I have no alternative but to return to my job{ even though I am on the waiting list for 2 operations at different hospitals} because from what i have heard the dwp hound you if you're successful and win your appeal,they keep on sending you for medicals every couple of months,I don't think I can stand the stress.
