The Department's customer service target is to turn around payments within six weeks. In this instance, the company is awaiting the rebate. From what Members stated they are extraordinarily sympathetic to the company's plight. Perhaps if there was a delay people would not be as concerned as they would otherwise be. At the same time, it is the intention of the Government to adjudicate within the parameters of the law. It is reasonable to obtain and act on legal advice to do so. To the best of my knowledge that is the stage it is at.
