I honestly don't know how these people think or if they can ! I'm expected to fill in this huge long form, and then they're going to turn round and tell me I'm too old to get it anyway LOL!
Did you phone them ?.....Couponing....."every little hurts"
Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
But all the people can't be all right all the time. .........I think Abraham Lincoln said that.

Just fill the darned thing in. Bet it's mostly tick boxes anyway. Always amazes me that people want the money but don't want to do the fairly minor thing needed to get it. Bet you have spent longer posting on here than it would have taken to complete the form.0 -
no point filling it in as I'll be over 60 and not eligible. No not yet Leadhead !0

If its for incapacity benefits, its a very, very long big form...
But they never seem to give you enough room to fill it in properly, unless you use additional sheets, or tiny writing.[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.
[/greenhighlight][redtitle]
The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
and we should be deeply worried about that[/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)0 -

no more than a few pages?? My husband's is only eleven pages and his is bi-lingual as it has to be filled in by a Spanish doctor. Also he has managed to fill it in without using extra sheets; however, his writing is quite small and neat.
If you have big sprawly writing like mine and have to use extra sheets, what's the problem? If they left a page for each question for everyone to write reams, people would be moaning about the waste of paper!(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
Normally when you retire your I.B. stops when you start receiving your pension. I think it stupid of the Works and Pensions to have sent you the questionnaire. They do like to waste money, the same thing happened to my Brother-in-law when he was 64. He actually attended the medical but what a waste of time and money.0
