North Lanarkshire Update
I am receiving lots of emails from A4ES clients asking when their settlement monies will paid; the A4ES office is getting similar enquiries by telephone.
The position is that A4ES cannot confirm an exact date on which payment will be made, but once all the completed paperwork has been returned and checked, the details are passed on to North Lanarkshire Council for processing.
So everything is moving ahead as planned and there are no particular delays or problems other than getting through the large number of claimants involved in this exercise.
Payment will be made into the same bank account into which people's wages are paid and if A4ES clients are no longer employed with North Lanarkshire Council, their cheques will be issued via Fox and Partners Solicitors.
