Atos calling Dr surgery was created by Leon64

I didn't give my phone number on my pip form, I explained that due to my illnesses I was unable to speak to them. Has been about 4 weeks since I sent the full form in and I got a message from my Drs surgery saying someone from the DWP had been calling asking for my phone number - and would I ring them back! Googled the number and I think it is atos. I have a Drs letter confirming I shouldn't be asked to go for an assessment, any idea what they're playing at and how I should go about responding?

Sorry no! If you can't ring yourself then can someone ring for you? If not, are you able to ring and explain that you cannot manage a conversation and that they need to write to you?

Thanks for your reply, my gut reaction is to write to DWP so I think I'll go down that route, just wanted to see if anyone had any tips!

Personally I've never given my phone number to the DWP, never rung them, and have always written.

I'm astonished they asked your GP to give them your number, thank goodness the GP knew not to.

All the best
