If this was in
Ireland (where, coincidentally or not, the forms have the same names) then you would send such claims to the local tax office detailed on your annual statement of tax credits or other communications from
Revenue rather than some centralised office. But I have no idea how the
UK system works. And three weeks to process such a claim doesn't sound outrageous in the greater scheme of things. Do they not have some contacts for checking the status of such claims?
I dunno, I didn't think 3 weeks was a long ti wait or anything. I just assumed I would get an acknowledgment 'we are dealing with your claim' kind of thing I didn't actually expect it to all be sorted in this time.
Also - here in Ireland your claim for social welfare benefits such as
Jobseeker's Allowance/Benefit would not be in any way impacted by any outstanding
P50 claim for tax but again I don't know the
UK system. I presume the
DHSS (or whatever they're called these days) can advise you?
Yes this a very good idea I probably ask the JC!
Do you have an equivalent of
www.citizensinformation.ie over there who could help you?
