I don't really understand that post, o guest.

ATOS tell you they don't make the decision (ha bloody ha). They'll also tell you they don't have targets (in spite of their long-time notoriety as an organisation dedicated to getting people off benefits come hell or high water). They merely pass on a very negative report about you to the DWP who harbour their own "decision maker". In my case, the ATOS healthcare "professional" judged that I could walk normally at normal speed by watching me walk the five yards from the medical room to the waiting room (yes, it says that in my "report"!) -it said that, yet hardly mentioned the abundant medical evidence presented. If anyone's "in it together", it's ATOS and the DWP. Anyway, my appeal's in.

Anyone facing a WCA definitely needs to study the official WCA handbook for ATOS healthcare apparatchiks. You will find from your experience that the guidelines are frequently not adhered to either in substance or spirit. That's why so many appeals succeed.
