In November 2022, an internal restructure was put in place, moving the work to a different business stream to enhance HMRC’s capacity to deal with these claims efficiently. However, the new team inherited a significant backlog of claims and, to deliver the best customer service in these circumstances, worked the oldest claims on hand first. Additional resources have now been deployed and are being trained to action claims, with a view to clearing the remaining backlog and processing all new claims received from 1<sup>st</sup> June 2023 within agreed timeframes. Customers who are concerned they have not heard from HMRC regarding their claims can contact them via their email address <a href="mailto:MorcExciseEast@hmrc.gov.uk" target="_blank">MorcExciseEast@hmrc.gov.uk</a> which is monitored daily. They will receive a response to their queries within 5 working days.</p><p> </p><p>All claims are checked against supporting documentation required.
