Qualifications of Health Professional for pip/wca medical to be openly available

Closed 231 signatures

What the petition asks

I have had two assessment & when I asked for the details at the medical I am qualified was the reply and a no was given from atos and dwp, we need to have the qualifications of these health care professionals readily available/transparent to ensure that they are suitably experienced for the role.
in view of the above statement, there are other evidence that has come to light ie a physiotherapist carrying out a pip assessment for bipolar, the second nurse that assessed me stated he was carrying out a mental health examination, however, when asked about his qualifications the only answer was I am qualified x4 , atos(employer) passed this to the dwp, the dwp stated that they have 5 weeks training & refused as well, I & other's am concerned that they are not assessing to experience.
