Well done mate! There are times when people need to take a stand for what is right and fair. I wish you luck and a positive outcome! Sounds like your determination will see you though the obstacles that undoubtedly lie ahead. |

The people who operate the IOW office should remember one thing....it takes seven tenths of a second to end up in a wheelchair...bet if any of them had to depend on benefits, they would expect it to be handled properly.

The last time I came across a company called Veritas they were the global leader in Backup software ... maybe the DWP could do with having a word with them.

The thought has already crossed my mind a few times. Its about time IMHO that a British citizen fought for the rights that others seem to be handed without so much as a bye or leave. Having said that, I don't see it fair that anyone born and brought up in this country should have to fight for what is rightfully theirs when people drifting in from other countries have everything handed to them on a plate. |

The ECHR love making a mockery of the British Governments policies, just look at what they did to Prescott over the Gypsies and Travellers rights. Maybe worth a trip to Brussels to have a word with them. |

Done that today, formal complaints posted to IOW and head offices. They are legally obliged to reply apparently. I want to take it further than that though, should their response not measure up - which I suspect strongly that it won't be more than the usual 'we apologise' letter blaming staff shortages, computer errors and such like. |

Well I'm not entirely sure where I'd stand if I took the DWP to court over this. Afterall they are in charge of the office concerned and would, I think, have to answer for faults inside an office under their 'umbrella'. I am seriously considering taking this further, regardless of the outcome of the current investigations.

Er, no. The Isle of Sheppey is just the sort of place where "couldn't care less in the community" would make the IoW people feel right at home.....

Would I be right in thinking that you have crossed swords with the Sheppey office, Ivan? |

I agree with what you said Mal. They told my friend who had the stroke that his sight would eventually return with rest....5 yrs later his sight has deteriorated. They still witheld his Disabled Living Allowance and only when he appealed to DLA office in Blackpool, they told him his claim had been given the go-ahead. When confronted, the IOW office said it was an oversight, no apologies given.

That office has kept in excess of 9k from me, quite possibly twice that amount for all I know til the letter confirming how much was authorised to be paid but wasn't. Records are being lost, deleted or whatever they want to call it. This probably isn't the only office thats doing this kind of immoral and distressing behaviour. Maybe whoever takes over at the election can do something, whether they do or not depends entirely on how important they think it is. But there are alot of disabled people out there who are pig sick of being treated like second class citizens and being cheated out of benefit they rightfully deserve.
I'm chuffing well furious and that ain't good for me cos it causes me problems but hell, whats wrong with these people, are they putting us though this so the stress kills us and that gives them a proper reason to stop the benefit we deserve? |

If you worked at DWP, I suppose you would have rejected my claim form due to bad spelling wouldnt you HT? Rotter! |

...and be able to bite the hand that feeds you...
That's secondhand news, surely?
Well, that'll make a third screw-up, then. In for a penny, in for a Euro...... |
