"I can confirm the DWP do not hold any information regarding the amounts paid to Atos Healthcare staff."
then how on earth can this statement be made, and I qoute
"Approved Healthcare Professionals who compile medical reports do not receive bonuses where the DWP decision makers have disallowed benefit. "
If the DWP does not hold ANY information regarding amounts paid to ATOS, then how do they know they are not paid a bonus,or other incentive?
