Yes Patsy, in a word it's anything over a year I think. I was only in the job 4-5 years and got mine. Would rather have my knees back tho :D

Pension is harder to get when you've been IHR. Depends on your condition of course. General knee/hip/back injuries, they say you are likely to work again, ie: You could take a desk job etc. Really depends on your own circumstances as to whether you will get pension or not, and this would be something that ATOS would recommend (or not)

I find it disgraceful how RM can give IHR on the basis of a telephone call without the decency and respect of a face to face consultation .

Let's hope this is a random case . Also it should be by a Doctor not some Practioner . That is a big difference between the two .

Good luck to you though - but not everybody wants to go .

I agree. totally disrespectful. I have been off work 11 weeks and thought I was having an ATOS phonecall to arrange some physio. Shocking treatment
