I take it you haven't the need for any help in trying to fight your own cause, because without that help you're screwed basically.
It's odd when the forms you fill in ask for evidence from your GP and also the full details of your GP and consultants, so now you're saying they shouldn't get involved. So what would happen then? Just leave it to ATOS to screw you over royally, do you think that's fine? Just because you think that those that know your history shouldn't be allowed to do their jobs? Without the letter from my GP I doubt wouldn't have been able win (such a bad word to convey such an 'award') my claim.
If ATOS did a proper job, then they would get info from your GP and consultants and they would take it into account but they don't. So we have to fight our own corner and produce the evidence needed, where you do think we should get this evidence from? Instead they ignore medical information and then it goes to the appeals which all adds to the cost of the taxpayer.
What a strange attitude you have.
As for the passport, most have a charge to sign those type of docs. It seems you have one of a few practices that just sounds crap.
