Any district that is using the latest version of CMS - CMS4, has the call back system you describe - as we do in East anglia - as to it being of little use, they think it's far more efficient - however you'll know, as we all do, that there is a significant minority of the claiming population who cannot cope with telephone claiming - mentally ill, deaf, blind and those with literacy problems etc - you may well run into refusals to issue clerical claims etc - problems with increased processing times - necessitating requests for interim payments
......and just when you think it couldn't get any better, telephone numbers that you just cannot get through on ....no doubt armed with all this information you can hardly wait.........
