You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

there is absolutely no point doing this.Surely reading this QOTW has given an inkling of just how seriously a complaint from a customer/claimant/dreg of humanity gets taken by anyone working within the benefits system. Filed in the bin, and backslapping all round to celebrate being Better Human Beings than those jobless scum who keep cluttering up the office.

There is a point...In the sense that if you make the case to your MP, they can probably get the council to at least acknowledge their cock-up. It may not change things, but it should ensure it gets some recognition.
Best thing to go to MPs for is when the admin side of the benefits system isn't paying you what it should and you can prove it. Write your MP a nice letter/email explaining it, give them all the details and ask if their staff can use the MP's priority line to check on the situation.
It works, because I've worked for an MP and made it happen.
