Hi PM,
This is awful, it is true that claimants with certain conditions must be assessed by a Doctor, and not just a run of the mill ATOS HCP, who could be a nurse, midwife, OHT, etc.
However, this should have been actioned once they were aware of your past problems.
You may wish to complain to ATOS regarding this, see details below :
