Quite an odd story this, found it in the newspaper this morning:
Very odd....

BLUNDERING bureaucrats wrote to a pensioner to tell she was off a housing waiting list...because she was dead.
And incredibly, deceased Isa Thomson was invited to appeal against the decision.
Her devastated relatives were furious at the letter - sent just three weeks after she died of septicaemia.
Council service manager Jamie Pettigrew wrote: "I write to advise you that your application for housing has been withdrawn from the housing waiting list.
"The reason for this decision is: deceased.
"If you wish to appeal against this decision you should do so in writing to the service manager at the above address."
Very odd....
