Hi
Can someone help me out . I raised a complaint about UC via the online complaint FORM on the 6TH July 2021. It supposedly has a 15 day time frame for them to get back to you. No call or email or anyrhing. Several journal entry messages and phone calls to Customer Services throughout the past 4 weeks and all you get is a generic reply saying it will be passed to a Case Manager. I have also emailed correspondence@dwp.gov.uk several times and again no response not even an automated reply to the email. I then had a meeting on the 23RD of July 2021 with my MP and she has also written to them and had no reply. I emailed the Independent Case Examiner but they won't entertain me until I have a final response from Stage 1. Although they did at least reply to my email.
Any suggestions welcome

All I can advise is bear in mind what it says online and just be patient.
