Brexit? What's that? :confused: 29 months since the Referendum of doing bugger all, including no "Plan B" according to the grilling Liz Truss got from the Select Committee at the time :inpain:

Preparing for payment now so they are working at claims

Had letter about Rpa taking on stewardship hopefully the pull their fingers out and get payment up to date soon

I tried to phone them a day before I got the letter.
Interesting recorded message which said " We are unable to give any information on payments as we are busy working on it and our priority is getting all payments out as soon as possible". The phone then cuts off!!

Does that give me any confidence?
Seems just a good way to get us off their backs!

Cant like that Frank!! That sort of message would send your blood pressure of the scale . Wonder if that message was put on your phone when your creditors ring looking for payment would it work ?

its the wording on the site which confuses. To my reading a previous payment is one that has been made i.e last year17 and before. Apply for bps, is for the future ie next year 19. Which then means where to look for a claim in progress. If you are like me and have not got an honours degree in computer literacy there is always the fear of pressing a button that deletes/withdraws the claim for ever. I find it harder to work the computer than paper and make more mistakes and takes longer albeit so far minor but its still stressful. I have yet to find a way of spreading ten or a dozen sheets of paper on the table so I see everything in front of me at that the same time, wether it be as important as bps or just booking a ticket for something.

The Welsh tractors seem to be forwarding and reversing a lot. Have you checked it again. It might have gone back to ready for payment.

Mine only moved to ‘ready for payment’ a couple of days ago. It now says paid.

I hope they haven't Paid it to one of them buggers that claim they don’t need it....:rolleyes:
