Morning all. I have a difficult issue that I need to find a solution for pretty sharpish, my own fault for leaving it so late. My brother has been called for another ATOS assessment and refuses to comply. He refuses to have anything to do with them ever again after the despicable way they treated him last time and, to be honest, I can't blame him, I don't want to ever have anything to do with them again either.
My issue then is, how do I stop us from losing all of the benefits that we rely on to get by when my brother would literally rather end his life than go through their degrading and humiliating assessment process? What provision is made for people in this situation or am I right in suspecting that the response from them is going to be "Just die then and save us the money, the assessments are law!"?
Apologies for being so grim but it seems to be a pretty stark choice
