Ugh, been there done that. It's such a pain when you make a mistake on those forms. Have you tried calling them to explain the situation?

I've been trying to call all morning but can't get through. It's so frustrating! π€

Pro tip: call right when they open. I usually have better luck getting through then.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

20 bucks? Idk man, seems kinda steep just to make a phone call.

I get the skepticism, but it honestly saved me so much time and stress. Worth every penny imo.

How long did you have to wait for the call back?

It took about 2 hours for me, but I've heard it can vary. Still beats spending all day trying to get through!

Don't panic! Mistakes happen. When I messed up my form, I sent in a correction through their online portal. It took a few days, but they sorted it out without delaying my payment.

The whole system is broken af. Why can't they make this process easier? It's like they want us to fail π€‘

Conspiracy theory: they're hoping we'll give up and stop claiming benefits π

Here's what you need to do: 1. Don't panic - mistakes happen and they deal with this all the time. 2. Try to call first thing in the morning when they open. Keep trying if you don't get through. 3. While you're trying to call, also submit a correction through their online portal if possible. 4. Document everything - dates you called, what you submitted online, etc. 5. If you can't get through on the phone after a few days, consider using a paid service like the one mentioned above or reaching out to your local representative's office for help. 6. Be patient but persistent. It might take a few days to sort out, but they should be able to fix it. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is complicated and mistakes happen. Good luck!

This is solid advice. I'd add: make sure you have all your documents ready before you call. It'll make the process smoother if you do get through.
