Hi

I sent in my Med1 claim form weeks and weeks ago and I have heard nothing? Is there a backlog?
 
Impossible to say for certain, as it depends on the workflow/staffing of your local district, but most likely yes. (Thank Croke Park for that!)

If you use the PAYE Online service you'd have a 48hr turnaround - welcome to the digital age...!
 
No 48hr turnaround for me using paye on line. I submitted med 1 over a week ago and still nothing.

A proportion of claims are selected for verification, which is necessary to reduce abuse of the system. In general the turnaround for PAYE online requests is a couple of days; that's been my experience with using it anyway.
 
Id say a simple phone call could help

This happened to my wifes claim two years ago. She called her Revenue district and it appeared her Revenue had got "stuck" in the system and she got her paperwork and refund a few days later. I am not sure what exactly Revenue meant byt stuck in the system, but the phone call defo worked
 
Definitely phone them.

Ive always found Revenue to be super efficient and good to deal with on the phone. You may be on hold a while waiting to get through, but once you do its usually dealt with quickly.
 
I sent in my Med 1 in february and had the refund withina couple of weeks, my husbands took about 5 weeks- I called and they were just backlogged!
