It does pay to complain

Well, well, well, having become sick to death of ringing call centres and being unable to understand what my options are for 1, 2, 3 etc. and after pressing * not understanding, yet again, what my options are, I have begun to complain directly via Email, to the MP in charge of each service that I find impossible to deal with.  First it was the DBS (which took 12 weeks to process) then the DWP Minister got emails asking why deaf people are not given the option of communicating with Government Services by email.  I sent my email to every person attached to the Ministry of Work and Pensions.  

I must say I was very disappointed when Damian Green MP, the Minister for DWP replied just to ask for my post code, nothing else just that.  What a bummer.   However, three weeks later I am very happy indeed, I am receiving correspondence from Job Centre Plus and the DWP via Email, yes Email, halleluiah.  Sadly, I cannot reply to said emails as I am informed, the system is not set up yet for that kind of correspondence, so I am just getting emails giving me instructions to follow and I am to respond to said emails via my local JCP until two way correspondence is active.


Oh well, it's a start and it's a lot less stressful for me, so Onwards and Upwards I say.   Watch this space!
