After having a home examination last year my dla has been stopped.The person who carried this out ticked the box which said he was a Registared Medical Practioner and signed his name as doctor.On doing checks on this person i can confirm he is a doctor in Engineering,and is not aRMP.

I know that ATOS are using other healthcare practitioners and people who are not registered in UK for ESA assessments (I am not sure about DLA). However, if the person doesnot have any healthcare qualifications then I would feel that this is totally unacceptable.

If you are sure of your facts, you can complain to DWP and many people would involve their MP too

I know these facts are true because this person has aweb site with his Professional biography on it and a nice picture of himself.

As no doubt you're aware, the DWP currently contract all medical assessments to ATOS Heathcare

ATOS Health Care Professionals who carry out assessments can be qualified doctors of medicine, nurses, physiotherapists or occupational therapists, but doctors of engineering absolutely not.

You need to contact ATOS at the link given by another moderator and inform them that the guy who assessed you is in fact a doctor of engineering, not a doctor of medicine.

I'd be interested in their reply !
