Hi Chrisyd,

Whilst it's never happened to myself personally, I have read of it happening to many claimants on here. I think it's basically due to how stretched the assessors are, and some appointments lasting way longer than the allocated time.
I do however feel your pain - it's not nice at all waiting on a call that never happens. An unfortunate sign of the times that we live in.

Regards, Chris.

They are bound to get behind when they inform claimants to expect a one hour call, and I personally know of one that was 1 1/2 hours and two that went over 2 1/2 hours in recent weeks. Time often if not always 'invested' in trying to catch the person out, question all their evidence, etc etc. I found the worst thing was the person's flat refusal to take the questions in the order of the form to avoid confusing me.

Feel for you Chris! I only had to call them up about a missing pension credit updating letter! Got through to them this morning and spoke to an adviser about it. It's over 2 hours later and still feel stressed from 'phoning them.
