I am totally fed up with the DWP who have stopped my benefits on the day of shoulder surgery going by a completely ridiculous ATOS assessment done a month before for frozen shoulder and Fibromyalgia. I am now meant to be off for 6 weeks .I have given the DWP all documents to cover my time off. Really angry and stressed over their decision!!!!!!!!!!
