Hi @raymund88 thank your for updating us, glad to hear they've put you as a priority. Hopefully you hear from them by then, please keep us posted.

Hello @raymund88 and welcome to the community. I'm sorry to hear they lost your original claim, how frustrating! As you can imagine they have a huge backlog of these underpayment claims to process so 12 weeks sounds about right. Hopefully if they've put you as priority you may hear sooner.
Let us know how you get on!0
