ESA medical - Very strange indeed

The questions you mention are usually used where the claimant has reported mental health issues, was this something you included on your ESA50?

The only thing I can think of in regard to the examination being "audited" is that ATOS were carrying out some kind of internal quality assurance exercise.

A Decision could be made in week or months, I am afraid there is no way to predict how long it will take.

Thanks Gordon

Yes I did mention mental issues as well as many physical problems in the ESA50.

As for the auditing, that makes sense too. It would explain why the doctor insisted that I saw the nurse earlier that day in an attempt to hide the fact I had been overlooked and left in the waiting room for two and a half hours. She told me I was wrong when I said that I had been seen two days before. She also said it had taken an hour to read my form, mind you that's believable due to the size.

I think perhaps a complaint to Atos is needed to show the true extent of my wait is reflected in this audit.

Thanks again
