Just had a lovely meal thanks to you Popeye - old boy down the street had a couple of falls - the men’s club built a ramp up his back steps - he came down to see me about my st Johns alarm - had remembered you saying Popeye you can claim from Winz so told him that - St Johns installed his alarm but gave him the old application form to get completed by his GP - he paid her $26 and sent the form off with the St Johns contract - Winz sent the form back told him to go back to GP and get the correct one signed - took 12 days to get second appointment GP checked the two forms - she had kept a copy and only the heading was different- practice nurse contacted Winz he is 93 and after much to-ing and fro-ing they accepted the old form .Two weeks later another letter from Winz they did not have a copy of his contract and he would need to scan it or take it into Winz - he thought I would have a scanner - took a photo and sent it off in jpeg form - back it comes it has to be PDF or he has to take it in - Winz could easily have converted it to PDF took me a minute - I don’t understand it have they got nothing to do .Anyway if you are still reading Popeye his daughter invited me and the blokes who built the ramp for a meal - we had scotch eggs which I love and deep fried haggis balls - don’t think I would order them at a restaurant! But thanks for passing the info on - he is desperate to stay in his own home
