Just a Sunday rant to be honest - I’m currently trying to complete the holy grail for my elderly mother. Attendance allowance, pension credit & a blue badge
Attendance allowance ✅ what a farce that was, initially refused, appealed after it came to light they my mother & another woman had been issued with the same NI number (in the early 60’s)
Pension credit - have applied online & got a phone call to explain they need bank statements. The DWP do not accept any external emails (what other organisations work like this??) so statements must be printed & posted to them via a pre paid envelope. It took 10 working days to receive the letter requesting the statements & they have forgotten to include the pre paid envelope!!! FFS
Next job is applying for a Blue Badge - God give me strength.
What do elderly people do if they don’t have a stubborn peri menopausal woman to be their PA?
