Thank you so so much for the person who went through all the posts and updated the spreadsheet. You have done an amazing job and the statistics are just wonderful! Such a brilliant overview of the applicants in March and a very helpful snapshot. Great job!

Disappointingly - I am the only applicant still remaining for my week. Very frustrating but I will continue to wait patiently as I know there are some of you who need this more pressingly then I do.

I wish you all lots of success and will watch with baited breath for you to update your profiles with cheerful news.

Please add me as well
application date approx 19/03/2015 (solicitor posted)
day fee deducted :16/04/15 Balanced dropped
Ack Letter : 17/04/2015
Approval : wait and see

I request if we can add fee deduction date in to statistics sheet please as i guess ,the case opens the day of deduction of fee taken up by case worker and approvals are also following a pattern same as fee deduction day.
Many Thanks
Regards

Is the approval date the day we got it by post or the date on the approval letter?
I just added my timeline unto the spreadsheet using the date on my approval letter without realising that my timeline had already been added with the date I got my approval letter.
