barefoot wend Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Mandy I was called a while back and called them to explain that I was a carer. I think they sent me a form to fill out which I returned with an explanation. It was very easy and they did not ask for any proof - I sent copies of my son's DLA and my CA letter anyway. I'm pretty sure there was a box to tick saying that you are unable to attend jury service within the next couple of years. Barefoot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noogsy Report post Posted February 20, 2008 i was called a couple of years ago and i went in to the office which isn't far from my home and explained i had a disabled child.who was in the habit of being sent home from school or sometimes not going to school.i also told them i was so inattentive myself because i had so much going on in my head i didn't think i was suitable and basically i told the truth..and they were lovely and told me not to worry and i didn't have to do it.it happens all the time that people who are carers are called and cant do it.hope i have helped love noogsyx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
