Protracted Threads/Posts was created by Crazydiamond
Can I reiterate to make members fully aware of the position regarding elongated posts and the request for personal information, by quoting from the thread below from Jim:-
Despite numerous requests not to ask for advice on individual claims, some members are continuing to do so.
Some are writing really long posts giving lots of personal information about the conditions they suffer from etc. etc. We really cannot answer these kind of posts.
Others will ask a question, receive a reply from a moderator, then submit further supplementary questions, which is much the same as asking for individual advice.
We are not and never can be a 24/7 on demand welfare rights service, as CD has explained, we can only offer general information on how the system works.
A brief reminder that all moderators have chronic ill-health and/or severe disability themselves, and all give their time freely as volunteers.
Also, we are down on moderators at present, with two moderators off sick, and another just recovering from heart surgery, so there are only a few of us online at present to pre-moderate, and reply to queries.
