AXA travel insurance claim, 8 weeks on and still no response

I submitted a claim to AXA a few months ago, it's been 8 weeks since I sent them all the requested documentation (which they've confirmed) and been waiting for a decision ever since. I've emailed with no reply and I've called multiple times to be told 'it's awaiting review' 'it'll be 7-10 business days', 'any day now', it's been red flagged so they'll look at it urgently', 'it's been escalated' or any combination of the above but still nothing. Has anyone had a similar situation? I'm not sure how long is normal to wait as it said I'd get a response within 10 working days after they had all the docs but we're way past that and no one seems able to say when it'll be reviewed. I've even sent in a complaint using their complaints form online but again had no reply. Any suggestions of where I can go from here?

    If you sent in a complaint, then they have 8 weeks to reply. If they do not then you can go to FOS.
