Is the medical request from atos a direct result of your renewal ?
The atos Dr may not be supportive, but the appeals system is there to make sure you can put you care needs to a panel. IF you're not awarded DLA.
The information guides on the site will help you see things in a more calm light
It is a panic and there is a lot of information out there that can put claimants off. But people are awarded DLA all the time without too much fuss and there is a safety net in sites like this that can help at all stages.

Have a look at our DLA claim guides, they will prepare you to answer any questions the doctor might have, there is also a section at the back, that will explain what happens at the medical.
Turning things around if I might, terminating your renewal will end your claim, so if you see this as your only other option, then you have nothing to lose by allowing the medical
Yes, some people fail in their renewal, but the vast majority are successful.
Good luck.
