ias/atos have accepted my evidence of lying assess

After months of waiting and me sending of evidence the assessor lied about ALL of the assessment the assessment company have replied to my complaint and accepted the assessment is flawed. They had the cheek to offer me another one but iv declined and told dwp I wont be having one and I'm continuing with my mandatory reconsideration.

I sent evidence that the supposed 20 metres was only 11 and iv asked them to prove it isnt.

The letter states the assessor mistakenly wrote I'd done an upper body assessment even though none was done. They're being careful how they write it but it's as good as admitting she lied.

I'd now like someone to suggest a solicitor who I can contact with regards to taking legal action whether I win the mandatory reconsideration or not. I have clear evidence of a fraudulent assessment and pretty much an admission of guilt.

Wow, congratulations. I wish I'd known we could report the assessors when my caree had hers done, because we would have done, too.

Hello Johnylee

On my own assessment I wasn't a member on here. I too fell foul of a HP who lied about doing a physical exam etc. To put a not to finer point on it, it was like a red flag to a bull for me.

I complained to both ATOS and the DWP and also the nursing council. Despite the evidence I had, non of my appeals were upheld. The good news from ATOS was that the RGN was distraught when hearing I had complained. Let's hope that she thinks about the reports she is doing and the impact her lies have on those who are genuinely ill.

From experience and having gone through the full complaints process, it wrecked me. I was constantly in fight mode with the DWP and IAS. I wish that I hadn't done anything and gone to tribunal. My whole file was there to see which included letters sent which were not nice to say the least. I still came out of the Tribunal bruised and battered and was awarded standard on both.

Looking back, and if I were in your position right now, I would be concentrating on getting a new assessment. Tbh, you're lucky to have been offered one. I know I wasnt. The fact that you have been through the assessment process gives you a good indicator of what should be happening.

I do so feel for you. Do what you think is right for you. No one can make that decision for you. I can only speak for myself and the pointless stress and worry of complaining on top of dealing with a Tribunal.

My second assessment a couple of years later on my change of circumstances brought about a very different result.

I wish you well whatever you decide to do. Xxxx

I continued with my mandatory reconsideration and refused the reassessment and I won, if been awarded my higher rate again for both components

I now want to continue this fight and sue the assessor so any advice and recommendations who to go to is welcome
