R&D Tax credit claim delay - no clear indication received - Community Forum

Dear HMRC, I submitted the R&D claim more than 22 weeks ago and have not received any indication of approval, rejection, clear update or query on the claim, while I have sent several emails to RD.IncentivesReliefs@hmrc.gov.uk and rdcompliancechecks@hmrc.gov.uk which apparently are the only way to contact regarding this matter but received no response other than automatic replies. This has been a frustrating process and has affected our cashflow management. Our company has some debt to HMRC for PAYE/NI and we receive notices for this debt but would not even respond to the claim they have to pay. This claim is a sufficient help for us if gets processed. I grasp that HMRC is tightening its scrutiny on claims, a necessary step. Nevertheless, our tech innovation firm operates legitimately. The UK Government unveiled a roadmap in March 2023 to achieve tech superpower status by 2030. Our reliance on the R&D tax credit scheme is vital for fostering innovation and enabling our scaling endeavours. Without this support, there's a risk of curtailing investments in skilled staff and R&D initiatives. While announcing such plans is commendable, practical assistance is essential for effective implementation. Can someone contact me to give me an update regarding our claim?
