I'm in the Yeoman of the Guard and the funny thing is I saw the queen in a mankini today. I'm worried she may have misplaced her marbles!!!0

Well if jennyjenkins has gone offline, I hope she's back tomorrow, to answer my three simple questions, or even one.
Do you work for the DWP or HMCTS ?0 -
Talking about 'context free' - don't you think your comments are a little context bound?0

It looks like somebody has reported your comment. Really can't think who that might be. Judge Martin's comments are fully in the public domain having been reported in the press and much shared on fb.0

You might want to quote who you are responding to - your posts are a little random in isolation!0 -

Seconded. Shocked at some of the nasty comments I read on these forums. I thought we were here to help each other and not accuse people of things. Shame some people have to try and spoil things for others.0 -

Still no reply to my simple questions, nor to Amus at #47 ?
This is from a retired colleague who until recently was an Adjudication Officer, for the former DHSS, DSS and a Decision Maker for DWP. He now has poor health, so doesn't post in forums now.
I read this article last week and although she (jennyjenkins) has some limited knowledge of the benefits/appeals process as you have correctly identified she cannot for the obvious reason of a conflict of interest work for both the Tribunals Service and the DWP. In my view I think that this person probably knows somebody who works for the TS in some capacity as most of the assertions made are inaccurate and are not backed up with any concrete evidence. A forum member by the name of amus actually asked jennyjenkins at post #47 how she managed to work for both the TS and the DWP and interestingly she failed to respond.
As the posts were dubious to say the least this item should not have been approved for inclusion in the B &W news section due to the ambiguity of the information supplied by jennyjenkins. I tend to take posts concerning benefits here with a large pinch of salt as through experience they can be wildly inaccurate. Indeed they can be more of a hindrance than a help and misinformation and/or misdirection where social security benefits are concerned could deprive claimants of their correct entitlement.
NB. If I'm wrong I'll be more that happy to apologise to jennyjenkins
I am not trying to create mischief, just trying to make sure claimants receive accurate advice.0 -

Well said 50Twuncle, I do hope JJ comes back and ignores all the interigation from others that are being so unkind to a poster with such good informative knowledge.
COME ON BACK JJ I am sure many are waiting for more information and comments from you, I am and I found your posts good reading. Come back soon.0 -
Yes Jenny come back, don't let people asking you perfectly legitimate questions that you are unable to answer to substantiate your claims of who you work for put you off!!0
