POEM - What happens if I give up?
WHAT HAPPENS IF I GIVE UP.
I’ve tried to give, all that I can give,
I’ve answered every question, just like a quiz
But what happens to me
If I say that’s it, I give up.
I’ve filled out forms, some 40 pages long
I’ve sent in evidence, it goes on and on
But what happens to me, is the end near
When my brain says I can’t sleep any more.
They say you need to send in evidence
They say support will help your claim
But what happens to me, when I stop
Is it worth the time, the effort, or not.
They say we will use, what you have sent
They say you need to collate, every little event.
But what happens to me
If I have an episode, before it all gets sent?
I could try ringing first to ask about the form
I could try discussing, that it’s only a reconsideration AFTER ALL
But what happens to me
When more information goes on to support the claim
OH well, you’ll have to start again.
I could try telling, that this is getting worse
I could say that I quoted it, all chapter and verse.
But what happens to me when I send the claim off
they say they have not had it, can you send us what we need?
Try again, is what I get, and copy it out again
Try again and send those support letters, that took weeks to gain.
But what happens to me and my claim,
When I tell them that it was recorded delivery, and its already been claimed?
It seems a M R is next, or even a FOI
It seems I had a copy but where it went, I do not know
But what happens to me, when I say where did it go
The address you used, is redundant and has been for many years.
It seems when asking for the form, my new address was on that
It seems that I received that O K
But what happens to me, when talking to the “office”
They said we sent it in advance?
Now I don’t want to cause a bother
Now that we have got it straight
But because you have already signed for it
Its you that just too late.
The moral of the story, is, please don’t ever give up
Because the time you have is plenty, to gather all your stuff
Just send in what they ask for, but remember, its Signed For on Receipt
It then becomes there problem, so that’s why they take 20 WEEKS?
