More crap

Hey ho hum de ho...Sorry all i seem to do just now is moan and whinge here...I phoned blackpool on monday...They had done a thorough search of the section his file is supposed to be with and found nothing...They hadn't done a whole building search yet...Wait for this one it so makes you confident NOT with them...EVERY tuesday at 11am a whole building search is done for any missing files...Each section who has a missing file gets told results of that at 2pm...EVERY tues!!!!!!! how many missing files do they get FFS...I actually spoke to the manager today...I didn't know it was 2pm when they get the results back from the search so it was before 2pm...She said she is doing as much as she can but without the file then they're stuck which i can understand cos they can't make a decision without the information...She said to send back the new form regardless as at least then they can look at his case...I said but that be a new claim from whenever you get rather than be backdated to oct...She said no it would get backdated...As i had previously done his form over the summer hols i hadn't bothered getting anyone else to fill in bit that is for someone who knows you well...That section is now optional...So this afternoon i have been out to G's base...MrsP has actually been nice and helpful for once...She filled in whole form for me...Well i had started it and she finished it off...She also filled in that section...As she is used to doing these forms on a regular basis it was so much easier for her to fill in quickly rather than me filling in quickly...We enclosed a sheet with an explanation on what aspergers is LOL and a leaflet about his base...I have just phoned the manager in blackpool again...Guess what!!! Yes his file has NOT turned up on the search...So where heck it has gone is anyones guess...Edinburgh put it in the courier bag and sent it off, courier bag was delivered to blackpool and after that well it's disappeared into the ether...Still not happy about that at all...Manager at blackpool, who is actually pleasant, said be sods law that it will turn up once they have looked at this new form and made a decision...I have informed her that i have sent the form off this afternoon by special next day delivery and it will arrive before 1pm tomorrow...That i want it looked at immediately and a decision made there and then...They won't need to contact anyone else as there is enough information from MrsP for themto know how he is...She has assured me i will be called to say they have it...They have my mobile number so they can phone it...I can't remember what i have on tomorrow...Got so much stuff on just now i dunno whether am coming or going...So there you go all G's personal details and my NI number and bank details are floating around somewhere unknown...LOVELY grrrrrrrr...Not heard back from my MP but hopefully will do soon...I'll still go to welfare rights appointment as this happens to too many people and they need a kick up the backside.

G is rich LOL...He's got £150 so far in birthday money...He also has a fair bit of EMA money in his bank account...So he wants to buy an XBox 360 now...What is with men and all these games consoles...He has a nintendo gameboy advanceSP still, a nintendoDS, a PS2 and the nintendo Wii...There are 2 games he wants that you only get for the dratted XBox 360 thing...MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...I now have a router thing from AOL which i need to try and set up, that's gonna be fun...My head is minced totally just now...K is loving her new digs...These people are doing everything for her that they reckon she is struggling with...Like helping her cook, helping her with her washing etc etc...Nice people :o) K is doing a DLA form too as her mobility has been affected quite badly...Oh joy, oh joy LOL...Fingers crossed she will have no hassles with them just like i've had no hassles for last 14 years until now.

What a hassle Caff, I do hope that they get this sorted for you soon.  
It's not just men with the games consoles, he he :o)
So glad that K is living with decent people now, that must be a relief to you, to know that they're looking out for her.  Fingers crossed that she has no probs with the DLA!!

Hi Caff, How on earth do they manage to lose anyone`s files in the first place. What do they do with them when they recieve them, play hide and seek with them?  And they`ve lost your bank details too, I`m suprised your not a nervous wreck after what they`ve put you through! :o(

Love Sandra xxxx

unless you are going completely wireless you don't need router because if you are just going to plug it in via the ethernet port it will only be acting a dsl modem.

Keep going you will get it all sorted out sometime soon

You must be FED UP with the benefits agency. . .arent they just USELESS! Hope it gets sorted. . and soo too.My son got an xbox a few weeks ago,he was trying to get it sorted for a whole day.In the end I rang the aol tech help and the chap on there said I needed a WEP number.He talked me through putting this number in my computer modem settings and then my son had to type the same number in his xbox .Easy once you have done it but would not have had a clue if I hadnt have phoned tech help.I am sure your son will love an xbox.

What a mess up they have caused you ~ makes you wonder how many files they lose to do a regular building search on every Tuesday ~ lets hope the new one you have filled in don't go the same way ~ Ally

Dear lord almighty!!  I'm surprised the file hasn't turned up yet but that's nice of Mrs P to help you out :)  Fancy wanting an Xbox when he has a Wii ??  Glad K's doing alright in her new digs.
