Snippets from an MPs casework box

It was supposed to be a day off but staff holidays and shortages have meant that I ended up in the constituency office dealing with a mountain of case work. This is the name given to the mountain of letters received from constituents that haave to be dealt with and answered - whether there is an actual problem to tackle or someone is just seeking my opinion.

Here is todays snap shot of correspondence

Mental Capacity Bill - concerns about euthanasia (quite a number)
Problems with a war pension
Problems with the INland Revenue
Dispute with Jobcentre Plus
Letter to tell me a problem pathway was going to be cleared (success!)

plus a few letters from my regulars who seek my opinion on the world the universe and everything but cannot be quietened with the answer "42".
