On the use of forms

Hairyloon

I've been fighting with the court about their application forms as a point of principle, but in the course of proceedings the question has raised of whether people with divergent mental makeup might actually really struggle.
They do give me some trouble, when they ask questions that are not relevant in my case: there is always some doubt about leaving things blank.

While i hesitate to call autism a disability, it is legally recognised as one, and if people do actually struggle with unnecessary forms, then maybe I should carry on the fight for their benefit.

Any thoughts?

  • I admire your determination. If you are sure then  stand up and make it hard for them.

    If you're right, you're right. They'll obviously not make it easy for you. But if you have the energy, a point of principle should be enough.

    The fundamental issue here is that this is a court of law showing a wanton disregard for the rules, then, rather than admitting they have got things wrong, they have created a new rule and applied it retrospectively to eliminate a complaint.
    That's pretty shocking behaviour from any organisation, but from an actual court of law it is beyond the pale.

    What I think is really disturbing is the lack of resilience: the amount of chaos it has thrown them into just by making an application in accordance with the rules is quite incredible, so I shudder to imagine what might happen if ever they had any serious problems to deal with.

    I've also found this, after 12 years fighting up to High Court. It's the Barristers too - they cross their fingers behind their back and tell all sorts of lies, because they dare not lose, or face losing paid clients. It's an utterly cruel,  barbaric system where there is little chance of Justice.
