It is a nightmare scenario and unbelievable until you have to apply for benefits.
You will empathise with the Ken Loach film I, Daniel Blake. It is a great divide in this country and so many who suffer no impairment or disability have notions like I recall 40 years ago working for Social Security now the DWP only I think much worse in its deliberate attempts to catch you out. or prove using a tool kit of irrelevant questions unspecific to your disability which give positive tick box answers hence, you are deemed "fit to
This is the common trend brought about by the current Government who doesn't accept the responsibility for those that work for them or worked for them.
The point is not to allow the DWP to fob you off but to appeal and take your appeal as far as you can. There is help available to make appeals - Scope, CAB and Disability Rights websites for starters.
Also consider making a complaint about the lies and inconsistencies in the report. Both companies involved (Atos and Capita) have a complaints procedure - you can find out how to write to them by following the links.
They don't make it easy & challenging the decision is exhausting but I really hope you'll be able to take this further and get the right result.
