My claim finishes in May. They sent me the reclaim forms last year and they received them in october. In all that time i have only heard off them twice. Once was to say they have received my forms, and at the beginnin of january to say they are still dealing with my claim.

I don't want to phone them but I am concerned at the lack of communication

    There are huge delays with review decisions so there's nothing to worry about. Your existing award will continue until a decision is made on your review.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
