Brilliant.

as someone who has been asked to send hundreds and hundreds of pages for this kind of stuff over the years, I am now seriously considering asking for fax numbers
physical mail is too expensive for me, and even if sending sets of emails with 25 attachments each works, it doesn't look remotely as fun as sending them to a fax machine
@UnePorte
Feeling the same...
I was made to go through the similar humiliating disability status renewal (with all the medical tests, a visit to a local medical council and then a visit to a regional one in other city, every year, in person) since I was a teen.
For a pension of around 200 USD a month at this moment -

@UnePorte @WeirdWriter Very well done, I really hope that when your renewals next comes up you get a note to send only relevant new documentation you have not already sent, by email.
(Otherwise, the Fax machine will be tested again)

@UnePorte sadly this will most likely not work anymore.
Most fax machines now are linked to an email. They do not print faxes anymore (I don't even know if there's an actual machine somewhere).
And it's a specific email so it won't even flood their inbox
At least that was the case at the last place I worked for that had a fax.

In France, it would be the same.
There is a law which forbid to send medical data through public email. Only post office or fax is allowed
Of course there is an exception : there is a secured email system for medical staff.
But people is not allowed to used it. -

@Sobex @UnePorte By email is a must! My countrie’s social security system hates poor and disabled people, so I’m sure there will be many more stories, so consider adding my feed to your reader?

@amy @UnePorte @Miari l'excuse officielle c'est "le cuivre ça consomme trop à cause de que c'est de l'électricité", la réalité c'est qu'on arrive au moment où l'infra cuivre devient trop vieille et coûteuse en termes de maintenance et les opérateurs veulent la larguer pour revendre les installations en dur et se faire de la thune avec pour rembourser leur dettes psk problèmes de refinancement j'imagine
operationellement et à court terme ça fait sens mais au global c'est une connerie, psk ils ont déployé la fibre comme des cochons pour faire au plus vite et éviter les pénalités de retard de l'État FR + toucher des aides. dans 10 ans la fibre sera un champ de ruines hors zones urbaines denses (ça a déjà commencé) car les coûts de maintenance auront explosé à cause de la fragilité liée au déploiement vite fait mal fait pas cher -

@UnePorte This is my new favourate thing.
This is better than the times the council kept asking for the same information, so I squeezed it onto a single side of A4 in size 9px font, single-spaced, knowing they would scan it at a low resolution and store it at 50% size.
