Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Have you been called to your welfare office for interview yet, or just returned the forms? AFAIK it can take about 3 to 4 weeks from the time the form is in to an actual claim been awarded.

Go to your local Health Board - they should be able to see on their computer system that you made a claim in a dole office and that it hasn't been awarded yet. Should pay you until the claim gets awarded.
