Dear Mr Allen,
Thank you for your prompt response.
Unfortunately, due to a very strict parliamentary protocol I am unable to assist with your concerns. However, as you say, you are in correspondence with my colleague Mark Spencer. I do appreciate the time you have taken to write to me and let me know your concerns, which I have taken on board. If these topics come up in the Chamber, I will bear them in mind.
Thank you again for contacting me.
Yours sincerely, Neil

I am not a resident within your constituency, although my formative years were around there!
For completeness/transparency I live at {address given} and am well known to Mark Spencer.
I hoped that some of my comments might strike a chord. I have found that many, including IDS, refer back to the 'bad old days', which does not solve the 'here and now'.
As with most govt policies, I can see the original problem and applaud the desire to resolve it, but abhor the means that are being used to bulldoze through the final solution, and the significance of those words is not lost on me, as the disabled and infirm feel that they are 4th class citizens.
I should tell you that I am not affected by BT, although I am disadvantaged by going to an ATOS interview and waiting 16 months for my appeal to be heard. Mark knows this.
Thank you for writing to me
Dear Mr Allen,
Thank you for your email regarding the Under Occupancy Penalty.
I am interested in responding to your concerns, as they could potentially affect a great number of people in my constituency. However, before I do so please could you confirm your address, including your postcode so that I can confirm you a resident of Tiverton and Honiton constituency.
Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely, Neil
