I'm still waiting for

  1. The boiler scrappage payment. It's been a month since I put in my claim and was told its being processed. Anyone else claimed and how long did it take to get paid.


  1. Lloyds Bank account closure. Three phone calls (by me) to progress receipt of my letter and finally someone saying "Yes we received your letter and it's in the process of closure".


My customers have only recently claimed. One (who posted their claim off the day before the close date by special delivery) got an email acknowledgement (but still no payment). I don't think the others have had even that.

Please keep us posted (directly by email to me if you like - my address is valid).

Will do, I posted off the claim on the 12 March and received their email on the 23 March which stated,

Thank you for submitting your Boiler Scrappage Scheme voucher in order to claim your rebate. I can confirm this has been received. Your claim will be processed by our Grant Administration team within the next 25 working days.

They will mean Monday to Friday as the working days so it must be close now.

Still no funds received and its 25 working days on Tuesday. That will have been 33 working days from submitting the claim.

You appear to be confused - you said previously that the email you received on 23 March said "Your claim will be processed ... within the next 25 working days."

So Working Day 1 = 24 March, ... . . Working Day 25 = 29 April. That's Thursday, *not* Tuesday!!

Be that as is may, even if it had been Tuesday, why is Ken moaning

*now*, when it isn't even Tuesday (27th) yet?

Also, if the *claim* is going to be processed within 25 WDs, i.e. this is the time withing which the claim will (it is expected) be approved.

Once approved, the matter will be passed to the payment department who may take an additional 25 WDs to print the cheque. After that, it goes to the mailing department.

... another 25WDs? :-/ ?

according to the document I submitted, they pay by bank transfer...

OMG, that'll take even longer than printing cheques, but at least it eliminates the mailing department.

one good point then.....only 3 days to go.

hoorah.........both now finalised.

They might send the transfer form to their bank by post.
