Message: <blockquote data-quote="donnellysdogs" data-source="post: 155357" data-attributes="member: 17713">Any sort of benefit is awful to try and get.I recently had to be seen by an ATOS person just to get NI credits paid.  I took my husband.   It is based upon a scoring system, you have to get 15 points.  My husband and I and friends thought I would get at least 50.  Result.....big fat ZERO!!!!!  The ATOS person was made to apologise twice to me by my husband during a session that lasted 1 hr 20 mins.I have to have my husband help me get out of bed every day, to help me dress, and reverse.  Diagnosed T1 and fibromyalgia.  Pain so bad, a friend of mine offered me her dead husband's motorised invalid carriage thingy....  nothing....I am unable to work, and after 30 years after having **** good jobs and always paying all my taxes....I can't get a single penny-not even my NI credits.There is a petition against ATOS personnel on the internet....you should read some of the comments on it......I thought I was treated badly at my medical assessment...you should read other comments......a huge number of diabetics are going to end up going through ATOS and trying to get benefits.....and we don't stand a chance because they are paid to achieve targets that 95% of all working age people are fit to work!!!!!!!  Only 5% of the people will be passsed as medically unfit.....some cases are absolutely awful.I really advise going to CAB to get as much help as possible to complete forms etc ....</blockquote>
