I feel as enthusiastic and happy as this fella…. After patiently waiting the 35 weeks for the reassessment, I called on June 29th only to be told my application hadn’t even been LOOKED at yet…. They then escalated the request to the processing centre and to call back in two weeks. July 17th. Today.
Called this morning. Oh, guess what… It STILL hasn’t been looked at. So now it has been escalated AGAIN and bumped up to the supervisory level to be resolved in 2 days. I am now to call on Thursday. I am feeling so defeated with this whole process. A mistake that was made 20 months ago, has altered what my pension amounts are supposed to be and in order to try and rectify it and have it corrected, it has been a series of long and frustrating phone calls.
So, I called my MP to see what other avenues I might have to get this resolved…. He is taking appointments in AUGUST!!!!
Holy cats… And they wonder why so many seniors are depressed, suicidal, homeless and mentally ill. Having to deal with the bureaucracy that the government is wears a person down to the bare bones.
Too bad for them I am a scrapper and I don’t give up…. They may have beaten me down each time I have to deal with them, but I will not stay down long…
