pip text message service

Just a heads up for members. I agreed to be contacted by text and was duly informed of receipt of claim (Im being transfered from dla) thanking me for sending my pip 2 form back etc. After a week or so I got a text saying atos had appointments available in their area. I called explaining if they had read my submissions and the gp supporting letter included they woukd be aware a home visit was requested. Then I was informed that this was a generic text as cancellations meant there were medical appointments available in my area. As I was 'in the system' I received this text.I was assured all medical evidence was reviewed and taken into account. I pointed them to the gp supporting letter and I have since been granted a home medical.....I'm still of the opinion that once an actual "health care professional" looks at my pip 2 form and submissions they might yet decide that I might be reviewed just on the paperwork. It seems despite the probldms they faced with esa medicals, Atos are still running a rather confusing ship as the general office that sent the generic text are inviting claimants for medicals when they might not actually warrant one, or at the very least merit a domicillary visit. This done by office staff before the medical staff have even looked at the medical evidence. Be aware of this.

I understood that Gordon but my point was that it was sent by the atos general office, just fishing I guess to fill cancelled appointments. Not by the medical dept of atos who would decide if a) a face2face was necessary or b) if a face2face ought take place at the claimants home as per request and evidence in my submissions. Seems the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing, as always.
