Accessability at F2F center was created by snozzy
Hi everyone, my apologies if this has already been covered, I have had a look and couldn't find a answer. In September, my local ATOS office phoned with a apt for a few days later, a new office in my home town. I asked if it was a ground floor office, reply was no. Ah, ok I said, I have great difficulty using stairs...Oh,..was her reply, I then asked if there was a lift, there was. Fine then, Oh no said the lady, I cant let you come here as it's a health and safety issue now,
I was told I needed to get a GP's letter to confirm my mobility issues in order to have a home visit, which I have done and they have received. New apt arrives today, for the same centre! However they have agreed to send a taxi for both journeys??!! So what do I do now? If the lift isn't working, I would be in no fit state to go through with the interview having gone up the stairs on my rear end. Or god forbid a fire broke out, I would be in danger myself and to others.
What do I do?
Thank you for reading

The health and safety issue is that in the case of emergency you would not be allowed to use the lift so would you be able to descend the stairs? If not then you need to contact ATOS again but be aware they may move your appointment to another centre rather than offering a home assessment.
