Absolutely disgraceful
Absolutely disgraceful and I would advise anyone to look elsewhere.
My case had been passed between approximately six different case handlers over the past 3 and a half years, resulting in a total lack of continuity and understanding.
Communication was consistently poor throughout. Emails often went unanswered, trying to make contact through their online portal was impossible as it was ineffective, and there have been extended periods—sometimes close to a year—where I received no updates or response whatsoever.
My medical records were lost and had to be obtained again over 2 years later causing unnecessary delay and concern yet no one responded to my concerns and I had to personally prompt action close to the three-year limitation deadline to ensure proceedings were issued in time.
At one point I was blamed for not having the therapy advised by one of the doctors I saw when in fact, it was the previous case handler who told me I couldn't have it until funding was secured from the other party so I should wait till I was instructed.
There was a constant lack of continuity between case handlers with inconsistent advice and limited awareness of previous discussions or actions taken on my case.
Recently, I was advised that my case was valued at a certain figure. Then another new case handler informs me that the claim was no longer viable, without a clear or satisfactory explanation for this significant change in position.
I was given a couple of hours to consider and accept a discontinuance agreement from the other party which was unreasonable and did not allow me the opportunity to seek independent advice.
When questioned, it appears my case handler had the offer before she went on a 2 week holiday but didn't send it to me until her return.
I do not consider that appropriate steps were taken to properly investigate my claim or obtain expert medical evidence before recommending that I discontinue it.
I have also been left considerably out of pocket.
Overall, they have just been awful from start to finish.
Be warned!
