Why does it take at least 8 months to process a redundancy rebate?

I sent this Email to Chris Andrews today.

Hi Chris

Your PQ is being discussed on Askaboutmoney at

The Minister’s answer is unacceptable.

Why are we allowed self-assess for much bigger numbers [for PAYE and VAT] and not for smaller numbers?

The system should be changed so that claims are automatically approved below a certain amount or cumulative amount for customers

3)[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]And maybe, where the director gives a personal guarantee against fraud.

It would release a huge amount of public servants to help out in other areas.

Wow!

I got a cheque today for all the Redundancy refunds due, including one submitted at the end of November - just three weeks ago.

So it looks as if when they got around to processing the March one, they checked whatever other ones were on file at that time.
