Out of interest, how are you contacting them - just a letter with a form inviting them to claim, or what?
We have a list of 1007 possibles, and from early indications it appears that out of those there are a small number have passed away, are not registered for CTB at the address, are non deps or have moved to residential accom - this still leaves a hard core of about 850 who appear to be paying full CT, which will be passed to the WR team to contact - in that we had contact in the past 12 months with some 1200 people for one reason or another, that could represent about 7 to eight months work.
If we sent out a blanket letter, we would be inundated with enquiries, and a fast growing band of increasingly irate pensioners: therefore we would be interested in how others in the same situation are proposing to handle these scans.
