    Do you think that this is for all areas then?

    Still trying to get hold of them, but they just won't pick up the phone.
  • It's a joke. This is the Government! This could be 6 or even more months of people's lives then at the end they could turn round and say thanks but no thanks and everyone's back to square one.

    Being made to wait month after month is bad enough for people with debts and families to support.
