PIP Refused...Is MR Worth It ?

Ames

Surely the decision maker is going to prefer it if the form contains information relevant to the descriptors, rather than having to wade through pages of waffle to find what they need?

Now i know why i get completely confused when reading rockingbilly's posts.

I wonder if we should start a new thread highlighting the inconsistencies (to phrase it politely!) in his posts.
(It will be a long thread!).
Then, when he gives misleading advice to an innocent OP, we can refer them to this thread. The OP can then make a more informed choice about the usefulness (or otherwise) of Mr Rockingbilly's words of wisdom.
What do people think?

Please can you report to the forum team, as I have done and let them deal with him.

Although I could give you a long list of previous user names

Be interested in the previous names.

Good idea to report him - what grounds do you report him on since his posts tend to the misleading rather than the abusive?

My thoughts exactly because i looked and couldn't really see anything. Ideas please anyone and i'll gladly report. I'd also be interested in previous names because he reminds me of so many people.

What's a troll/alter ego?
A troll is someone who deliberately joins the forum to cause disputes. It may be a long-standing user, or someone completely new.

An alter ego is generally someone who's previously been PPR'd (see What's "PPR" under some people's usernames?) and has joined under a new username to cause trouble.

If you feel someone is trolling or is an alter-ego, please report them to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com. Do not respond to them on the forum - that makes things worse.

A guide to dealing with troublemakers

Don’t respond or engage with trolls

More importantly, we ask that you don’t respond, get involved or start name-calling.

That simply isn’t helpful, and in the long run, you risk your own privilege to post on this forum being removed just as much as the original trouble-maker.

If there's a problem, please "don’t feed the troll" – don’t engage or let it escalate. Report it to us instead.

We don’t have moderators on the site, the forum is too big and it's not legally advisable. Yet even if we did, it is very difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong in a fight.

But still only half as confused as rockingbilly.:)

As I believe Ms Sheindlin puts it "If you tell the truth, then you don't have to have a good memory". Or as I would put it, if you suspect someone is making stuff up, prod away at them a bit, and eventually they'll forget what b*****s they told you to begin with, and tell you a different load of b*****s, and thus reveal themselves to the world.

That's the approach I took. (And I have only ever completed one PIP2 form. I did it all by myself. And I read what I had written.:) )

But it just makes sense to me. If you make life easy for the HCP person, and basically tell them what points you should get, and give them the reasons why you should get them, they are far more likely to give them to you. Basic human psychology.

Obviously it also helps if your telling the truth.
