Hi, I Am confused as to tick the yes or no box, As my husband is expecting out-Patient treatment at the hospital soon but would not be staying overnight do I tick no ? or do I Tick yes to say he expects out-Patient treatment ?

Also if I Send the completed form off by special delivery on say a thursday/friday would any staff be available to receive it if it was in the saturday post [Are they open saturday !]

Thank you again for your help.

It is both in-patient and out-patient treatment so tick Yes.

Parts of ATOS Healthcare are open on a Saturday as they do assessments, but I have no idea whether the mail room at any particular mail drop is, so I would err on the side of caution and have it delivered on the Friday if feasible.

ATOS and the DWP Decision Maker will assume that they are seeing health care professionals as part of their treatment so you should certainly explain how this is achieved rather than allow them to come to their own conclusions about it.
