Closed Future DWP (Atos) assessments should be carried out by Healthcare Professionals

Closed on

The current system where a DWP official completes a one-fits-all form for Personal Independent Payments (PIP) and Employment Support Allowance (ESA) is not fit for purpose. This health related assessment should be carried out by Healthcare Professionals that know you and/or know about your illness.
