Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13th September 2023.

13th September, 2023.

Right … it’s Wednesday.

And you’re possibly aware I’m trying to claim Personal Independence Payment: or PIP, as it’s also known.

I’ve had what’s called the MRN, the Mandatory Reconsideration Notice.   Which has also been refused.

So I’m trying to lodge an appeal with the court service.

I couldn’t get through on the website, yesterday: as it kept telling me the site was “experience difficulties”.

Indeed, using that link give the same answer, today.

However?

I DID manage to get through, yesterday — once! — using my spare computer.

And the initial stages seem to be showing up.

However?

I think phoning the courts, to make sure of this, could be wise.

Here’s a thought …

“A person is a fool to become a writer.   His only compensation is absolute freedom.   He has no master except his own soul and that, I am sure, is why he does it.”

Roald Dahl, 13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990.

And a song …
