... which professional body he is registered with, and complain to them.

File an appeal against the decision; it's a hassle but it does usually work; most appeals are successful.

I had a car accident 30 years ago spine is twisted i use two sticks and im fucked. I was interviewed by an atos nurse? no older than 21 yep i got a letter im fit for work? i appealed 3 times and ive got a stack of medical evidence from back specalists. No chance im on job seekers now 71 quid a week when i go to the job center they havent got a clue what to to with me.

I work with a guy who is in an electric wheelchair. He couldn't walk with 2 walking sticks if he tried

He managed to put a full weeks work in at an office

So your point is what Mario? The wheelchair-bound guy can work so anyone can? You don't know the extent of the previous poster's medical condition. Arguing is easy when you simplify the 'logic' to the level of the moronic.

Each case is different, and the controversy about Atos is that their methods are deeply flawed. This is why GPs en masse have condemned the WCA and the testing by Atos. These are REAL doctors, with genuine credentials and experience who are saying, alongside disability rights groups, investigative journalists, MPs who've raised the issue in Parliament, and huge numbers of genuinely ill disabled people who've been screwed by it, that the WCA is not fit for purpose.

All disabled people want is an objective test, that addresses their difficulties - rather than trying to circumnavigate them as Atos do - by qualified professionals who are not constrained by the quotas and targets we all know exist between Atos and the DWP.

For those that are genuinely too ill to work a progressive ethical society will ensure they don't end up begging in the gutter. If you want to live in a society that leaves sick people to struggle just to survive on the streets, Mario, then that shows just how messed up your moral compass is.

For those disabled people who can work there needs to be the right jobs that are accessible for them. Finding those is easier said than done. Your colleague is one of the lucky ones in that respect.

I've been through the Atos assessment, and yes the report contained lies that conflicted with the 'interview'. The assessor avoided my illness as much as possible. The test is skewed to omit your disability and it makes ludicrous extrapolations that have absolutely no clinical or logical basis. In that sense it not only isn't objective or rigorous it is dangerous. The WCA has and continues to cost lives and worsen existing conditions. It casts people who have no realistic hope of getting or being able to maintain employment onto Jobseekers, which is an exercise in futility and stretches the finite resources of the Jobcentre even further. The private companies given contracts to find work for these people are inevitably failing and the only real winners out of this mess as far as I can see are the Atos shareholders who are reaping the profits.

It's easy to be a Tory troll. Here goes: Blah blah my taxes... blah blah hard workers vs scroungers... blah blah could work if they wanted to... blah blah they live in mansions and have massive lcd TVs... blah blah they're on the fiddle

Stop peddling the myths of the spin doctors and blaming the disadvantaged for your discontent.
