Don’t worry – we are all guilty of that from time to time.:) But I am really sorry to read the rest of your post.:( Losing your job is bad enough but having to fight the bureaucracy to get what you are due is appalling. ( I smell a post from Lincoln 7 on this!;))

Not that it is any consolation and will probably not be realised in our lifetimes but I applaud Ian Duncan Smith’s attempts to bulldozer through serious welfare reform, a component of which is structural overhaul to achieve a far, far simpler system. If it ever happened it could really help people like you and the old, who struggle with the complexities of the “Brown” system.

S.H. Your right, see ELDERLY FOLK Posting,Something needs to be done.
