Yes, sorry. 90 day multi-entry visa to accompany an EU spouse.
We got the rejection letter today and it stated that 'No application of Directive 2004/38/EC seen that interested no proof that his British husband will accompany the trip to Belgium. therefore, the visa application will be treated in terms of the visa code.' despite the fact that I included a signed and dated letter stating our intention to drive together.
SOLVIT UK have been utterly useless. Their response: 'The visa was refused because insufficient evidence was presented to show that you would be travelling together. Whether the NL and CZ Embassies have accepted a letter of confirmation, Member States can require evidence of travel together. Page 92 of the Schengen Visa Code refers to documentary evidence, as non EU nationals are not allowed to enter a Member State unless accompanying or joining the EU national.'
They claim they require documentary evidence. How could someone drive, walk or cycle then? It's ludicrous.
