Interview for PIP

johnny100

I contacted ATOS to obtain the name of the lady that carried out my PIP at the end January 2017.To my surprise the person was a mental health nurse ,has no qualifications and it states,means a nurse or midwife has no additional qualifications added to their registration,Well, well ,how on earth can a Mental Health nurse carry out this type of work,beggars belief?Maybe a few other have found the same on there consultations. .

Nystagmite

I found the same. Mine was just listed as a nurse. A nurse who knew very little about the rare conditions I have.

Matilda

My assessor wasn't even a nurse, just a paramedic.  She didn't have a clue about rheumatoid arthritis itself or how it affects people with the condition.  She asked me to describe typical symptoms and I could tell from the blank look on her face that I might as well be quoting from a phone book for all she understood.
