Hi Andrew.What about going down to the bank and getting money out over the counter? If the bank have it on file that you have a disability, then perhaps you can use some identification. The management are only saying what they're saying because they don't want to run the risk of being accused of theft by their clients. Remember, they're under no obligation to help you manage your finances, even if you are deaf blind.
All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: andrew shipp

I would have thought that, if you admit to this, then the bank might wriggle out of any fraud on your account. Anyway, if it is illegal, then I've broke the law many times. My girlfriend puts my pin number in on many occasions. The fact that the money comes out of a joint account is no matter as the card is in my name and I blatantly ask her to put the pin in for me in front of the staff even though I've taken the card out of my wallet. Who's saying that's it's illegal?

I am diabetic and have berry bad neuropathy which is affecting my fingers now meaning that I cannot feel things properly, such as the little pip on the number five. I am so determined to fight the place where I live over this. I look forward to any help regarding this problem. Many thanks in advance.
