Don't get me started... having been on DLA for let's say over 15 yrs... had to apply to PIP and I was no longer disabled... it's a miracle! I had my motability car ( as always used my allowance for a car ) removed ( well I ended up getting a loan to buy it from them- motability FAB all the way through!
I sent off the mandatory reconsideration stuff, but no I was still cured... so i said i would go to tribunal - the thought scared the crap out of me - but I thought NO ... then I receive a phone call from DWP saying we have looked at your new evidence and have changed the decision and was awarded the lower rate motability... FYI I submitted NO new evidence - sent the same info in ! Keep fighting and I wish you luck... it's so stressful x

The way they handle peoples cases is absolutely criminal, really. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this too, stressful is definitely the word! They actually had the nerve to say I was intelligent in my report and try to use that against me, as if the disabled must be stupid! Thankyou, I will definitely keep fighting it.

Well wouldn't it be lovely if it had? These people are idiots! You need extra help so you should get it.

Thankyou, oh if only I could wave a magic wand. I had so many plans and dreams I could be doing right now..somewhere much warmer XD But no, apparently begging the government for help seemed like a fun alternative :hmm: id rather be doing anything else.
 
PIP assessments are a joke. I was rejected a couple of years back, after being on DLA for 5ish years. Everyone told me to go for it again with all the scandals and people getting money they were owed but the horrible meeting with a smarmy man put me off completely. Horrible creature :(

Don't be put off... if you can face it please go for it again. The system is all wrong and lots of people have been treated really really badly. I fear for those who have no help! It's criminal...

Our tenants have just moved out after 16 years and have left us with 30 gnomes to deal with :yikes::yikes::yikes:

Your lucky your tenants have moved out. My tenant was supposed to leave mid December but she hasn't and cos of a up by the Letting Agent she can't be taken to court until after 22nd April so then court date will be 4-6 weeks later then she has 2 more weeks before the Bailiffs go in. That is mid to end of June! I am NOT happy about this as I want my house back! I should have had it back 3 months ago.

Aw, grim, we are taking the opportunity to sell it now, too much hassle to carry on now, bad landlords causing too much much interference by government for the good landlords, so time to get out!

The problem with bad neighbours in council housing is that if they are moved they are still the council's problem - just somewhere else and a new set of complaining neighbours. It's not in the interest of council's to do anything. I was told the agressive 6ft 4in man who let his agressive dogs lose, threw dogs mess at his scared elderly petite female neighbours, played loud music day and night etc etc was a vunerable adult and needed more help.

Yes, needs help to be evicted!
 
When you have to make an important international phone call and rather than just saying they cannot understand you, they just keep repeating “hello?” before hanging up, so then you call back and they just hang up the moment you speak.

Don’t be so damned rude! At least try and communicate.
 
companies that that promise you a refund once you return the item. 4 weeks after they have received the return ....still waiting on that refund that was promised a few days after the return is received 😡🤬

Probably BMWs, I sometimes wonder if they're supplied with indicators as standard, the number that pull in front of me without signalling their intention first 😡

Bmw , audi , and mercedes driver. Alot of them ( not all!) Are business men and women, estate agents. They think they are in a hurry more than anyone else. 90% of the times i see a smash up on the hard shoulder, with a big long tailback of rubberneckers, its one of these cars.

I'm a white van man, people hate us, but honestly, drive a white van for a few weeks, and everyone will see what we put up with. One example, cutting in front of my van whildt i have a heavy load in the back, and braking hard. I cant brake like cars can 😠
And if i hit the back of someone, it goes down as my fault😐

Ok little rant.
Old people who do weekly monthly shopping at lunch time then take hours getting money out of a world war two purse. . . :hb::hb:

Remember you may well be one of those old people Dave! You can't help getting old. Old people were young and sprightly once you know.
 
The :cen: idiot who was driving a small car (didn't notice the make only the bad driving) who nearly caused 4 accidents in the space of 100 yards this morning cos of impatience. I kept well back so I could see what was happening. The driver won't last long if they continue to drive like that! The police are never around when you need them. The sooner that idiot is banned from driving the safer the roads will be!

I knew someone pull me up on this. @Betsy bless I know i be one of them soon but I'd hope I do me shopping not in rush hour.
Also I fully realize that some go at busy time as they need company and very lonely. x

You're right Dave sometimes if you are old and you have no family living near then you don't get to see anyone except for when you go out.
 
I went to see a family friend Auntie :fog:who's got dementia etc.
2 weeks ago and last night. phew old age is evil at times. She's moved to a hospice today.
The visit 2 weeks ago was open day at the care home and loads people their visting and entertainment etc I said hello and she asked if I come to take her home which phew wow.
Then after cup of tea and lots talking about good times with my parents ( both sadly passed away)
She said to me "David will you dance with me"
We did and the whole dance floor was ours.
Bless Her. x

Hay, we have Audi and we think the same, nobody indicates in Cornwall!
 
What really anoyed me about drivers when I lived in Cornwall is that most of the visitors don't know how to drive on roads that don't have a white line down the middle. Which in those days was most of the roads in Cornwall. I don't miss the A30 in summer!

Noboby indicates in Bristol either. What really gets me is when I'm a pedestrian waiting to cross the road, drivers don't indicate 'cause your just a pedestrian. You get a load of abuse for getting in their way when they can't let you know where they are going!
