How the hell is an ATOS doctor gonna be able to assess invisible disablities in children? It takes a specialist multi-disciplinary team and months or years for the NHS to indentify conditions like HFA/AS/apd/adhd etc? A lot of these kids can't even co-operate with a total stranger.

I just don't "get" how this could possibly be more error free than the current very rigourous process to get DLA. At the minute my feeling is that it's almost impossible to "fake" a kids DLA claim under the current system as you need so much proof whatever the daily fail says.
