1st things 1st , dont panic , the department are a joke when it comes to theese things , they will tell you to do one thing yet when that turns out to be incorrect information , they will deny ever having advised you to do so , nothing happens quickly with those muppets , its the same with all civil servants , thier incompetance is only matched by thier arrogance in defending thier incompetance , all you can do is keep politely chipping away at what you need , remember , they are never wrong

That may be a bit harsh... not all of us are academics..
And shouldn't that be Maybe, Mabey might sound like drivel (thats drivel with one l) to some of us

Irish_bob is right.. these things take time, keep a note of who you speak to each time you ring, and ask to speak with that person the next time..
Keep the faith...
