She doesn't know how to turn it on yet, so applying on-line for her heating benefit thing might prove a little difficult. Oh, and, she is disabled and the council wont give her a mobility car because she's too old so she cant get to the relevant office. She has a scooter which she had to pay for with her savings but the battery wont take her to where she needs to go without needing a recharge.

  I forgot to mention, she's dyslexic with numbers too so she cannot use a phone to call the claims office.

  And everyone says that you have inherited all of your Nan's skills!

  Your wit makes me go weak at the knees

  And what exactly is stopping you dialling the number for her, or going online whilst she is there, or taking her to the office?
  Why do you expect the government/local authority/social services to do everything for you?"
