Worker category error

Having switched to 25/26 for payroll and processed April I started to worry that I hadn't closed off 24/25 correctly so deleted the April payrun and switched back.  All was OK.  However when I went back into 25/26 several employees had pension worker categories stuck on "not assessed" and I am unable to change it - just get a red circle when I try and use the drop down menu.  So am completely stuck and unable to run a correct April.  I contacted support a week ago to raise this problem, was told it was a known issue others were experiencing the same issue and that I was added to the list of impacted users.  Nothing happened so I contacted support again a couple of days ago, still no resolution despite being told it's being worked on.  This is hugely stressful, time consuming and frustrating.  Does anyone have any magic solutions please?
