Thank you for your prompt replies to our question.(posted 8699 days ago)We shall certainly be writing to the insurance co. to find out if the chq has been cashed. If not, we may consider asking them to re-issue a chq direct to us.
We believe we have enough documentation to prove our case on this issue, but there are quite a few other figures supplied by DLA which don't quite add up. We are also working on these issues right now and we will keep you informed of any developments.
We have not heard from DLA for nearly a month since informing them of the above, which is unusual and rather worrying.
ps Thanks again
