No, I'm saying ATOS are still handling PIP assessments. Here is a recent article http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/atos-whistleblower-lifts-lid-daily-9274785

I've been told that I would probably be accepted for PIP due to suffering from depression etc. I don't bother trying because even if I did receive the benefit, it wouldn't make me any better. I would have a bit more money, and still be suffering from a mental illness. So in my case, I see no point in claiming. But I am extremely grateful that the facility and financial help is there for those who need it and would benefit greatly from it.
Over the years I have known a few people who have needed and received benefit and help with their disabilities. But I've also known a few who have abused the system:
One person had his own business on the side doing very hard manual work that he was not supposed to be capable of doing, but still received disability/mobility allowance.
A bloke I know received the same benefits due to his back being badly injured making it almost impossible for him to move about. He would play football with me twice a week, and would be running about like a gazelle.
There is also a woman I know who is so bad (back injury again) that she receives the benefits because she needs help around the home and is also unable to work. Amazingly her 'disability' doesn't seem to prevent her working on the side; she has been doing various cash in hand work for years now with no physical problems.
Apologies for the long post

As the father of an autistic child I wouldnt want the battle weve faced placed not even on you. The education system is a joke where cost is the driving factor. I guess you do not have anyone with disability in your family. lucky you. trot on
