Mental health 'champions' was created by Maggie
Hello,
Silly question but whatever happened to the mental health champions? I delved into the ATOS site & it says you can ask the health assessor to refer to a MH champion if you feel they don't understand your condition. Can't believe this to be the case but if so would it apply to the DLA to PIP assessment. I believe there were 60 people, not neccessarily qualified/MH experience, appointed?
Thanks

Interesting question, MH Champions were supposed to be available in each |JC+ office, they may still be but I haven't heard anything about their activities for some time, not that we heard much in the first place. Maximus also make much of their MH Champions, see the following but again we see little of their impact.
