Hope you find more help if not maybe a search on google could find something
It doesn't surprise me you cant find anything probably not published anywhere bring parliament or is that just me being cynical
Hopefully other members may have some experiences to share

The correct name is the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, they have no link to parliament.
This Ombudsman deals with complaints about government departments (ie DWP) and NHS. They publish an annual report, which gives details of each investigation and outcomes.
They either uphold or reject each complaint and can award modest compensation (£200).
Go on the Ombudsman’s website to review the reports published.
With reference to any complaint about ATOS, this will be linked to DWP, as they act on behalf of DWP.
Have you involved your MP?
Let us know how you get on.
Good Morning I do hope that you are having a good start to the day.
Yes a few years ago now I had a run in with the NHS which involved MP’s Ombudsman + Parliamentary Groups + senior staff at the NHS.
The outcome wasn’t any good as the NHS seems to be a “law unto it’s self”
I spent many hours popping emails to & from them all but it was just like banging my head against a “brick wall”
