CWO not available!!

Elliee

Guys, im at my wits end.

Ive visited my CWO on Tuesday and she wasnt there and had nobody to fill in for her... I was told to come back today and see if she was in. I went down at 9am for the 10am sitting and told shes not in and nobody to fill in for her, "Were not even sure if we have anyone for next week!!" WTF!!

I need my rent allowance form processed desperately. My rent is due next friday my family is short 350 euro for our rent this month. Its absolutely ridiculious!

Where do I go??? Who can I speak to? I rang HSE main office and they gave me the number for peter smith the main guy in the dublin north office well guess what?? His phone diverts to a flippin machine press for 1 for blah press 2 for blah blah!! :mad::mad:

Im almost in tears can anyone direct me??

I'm afraid I don't know - but contact your local citizens information office in case they do.

Peter Smith is the Superintendent CWO in North Dublin - I'd contact his secretary, make an appointment.... or get them to get him to call you. Alternatively, fill in the form and drop it into that office for the attention of PS....and keep a photocopy. AFAIK his office is in Coolock Health Centre - the small building next to the main health centre in Kilmore.

Hey Ger I dont know what district town your in but I had a similar problem with another dept in mt town. I have never done it before but I rang my local TD who is actually on the local council. It was Lisbon week & he even still managed to get me sorted. I feel for you - wits end is a horrible place to be. Just try it

thanks for all replies guys,

I got the number for peter smith yesterday and was put through to the sectary. Well I just got her blooming answering machine, I left a message and no phone call returned.

Do the HSE really give a cra*??? :mad:

Well its been a fortnight now and my CWO is still out sick, ive taken this to my local paper as its absolutely ridiculous.

My rent is due on friday and I nobody wants to speak to me let alone give me assistance. :mad:

I got through to this damien o brien sectary on tuesday and she told me if i wanted an appointment to see him id be waiting a very long time. Wouldnt give me an appointment. he was out covering in a clinic in darndale for another sick CWO!!

I recieved nothing but abuse from his sectary about the number of voicemails on her answer machine and that she couldnt handle the volume of calls, she said she hadnt listened to my msg or anyone elses or returned any calls. :rolleyes::rolleyes: Well thats flippin brilliant, another member of the hse sat at her desk doin nuffin and getting paid of it.

Ive got on to my local T.D also on tuesday and no word back yet, his clinic is on saturday. The paper has gotten back to me however and are featuring it in there next edition.

I spoke to a CWO and he told me they arent even looking at rent allowance forms, its literally people who are lookin for money to put food on the table who they are handing cheques out too.

So if ... I put all my money towards rent will they pay for my food????
