GP sicknotes will "work for the duration" as long as the outcome of the Atos administered alogrithm and the ESA decision maker do not combine to score an individual below the threshold of the required 15 points.
At the appeal stage appellants are contesting the decision, not a perceived diagnosis of their medical condition. Hence there is no medical intervention beyond "reasoning" at the appeal stage.
