    It can be a waiting game at the best of times @tara2019 but of course things are even worse as things are now, have you spoke to them recently about your claim? best time to call is as soon as they open before they get too busy.
    2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

    Unfortunately, there's really no time scales. Hopefully you'll hear something soon.
    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.
