If no response is received to this, then go to the "Director with Overall Responsibility".

The Adjudicator is the last resort.

thank you very much :*

is it bad idea to try sent this by fax and then if I don get reply by post ?

Fax? Nobody sends faxs any more. You can send by e-mail, or by post. If you are paranoid, you can send a registered letter so they cannot deny they received it. I would send a regular written letter, there is a tendency to deny having ever received the e-mail.

I haven't received any reply since then, despite the fact that I provided you with all my details, such as e-mail, mobile number etc.
I hope you will solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to contact The Adjudicator's Office.

Only if you can have guaranteed notification that the fax was received and read. As Thod say, far better to send it by post, if possible in such a way that it must be signed for in Cardiff. You could fax and also send a letter, stating in the fax that you have done this and when the letter was posted.

The problem with dealing with large government agencies is that they are very liable to deny receipt of faxes or e-mails. Of course, on e-mail it is possible to have a "read" notification.
Unfortunately this is a very bad time of year to be chasing this department as they are dealing with so many claims.

From three months.... is wrong grammatically, it should be For three months...., you can't say 'from' with 'have been', have/has been comes only with since or for. Thanks.
