Missed my rescheduled ATOS appointment
I need somebody to come with during an ATOS appointment as my nerves and shyness and discomfort means it's pretty much impossible for me to attend alone.
Unfortunately the people and family I know work so it's been almost impossible to find someone to come with me. Had to reschedule the first appointment but the second one today was interrupted by work commitments of the family member who was going to come with me.
She tried to reschedule again but they refused and as I am unable to attend by myself I had to miss this second one.
What I want to know is what will happen next? Will they just stop my benefit? Will I have a chance to make another appointment? Would I need to appeal? This is freaking me out as much as the appointment itself.

Didn't know there was a home visit. I still need someone with me though.
Thanks for the info.
Hopefully I have good cause as the reason I couldn't attend is partly the reason I qualified for ESA in the first place. But then again this is ATOS I don't trust them. Which doesn't help me in dealing with this stuff.
Yeah I'm on medication for it.
Is it working?
I had an ESA Medical Assessment last July and I had my mum with me. I was in the medical just over 25 minute. I was mainly asked questions about my disabilities etc. I was placed in the ESA Work-Related Activity Group and I wish I appeal now to get into the Support Group. I got 30 points, you need to get 15 points to pass the ESA Medical. (I think).
I wish you good luck CBFreak.
