Defined cos delayed by 1 month

[t2skv]

Hi all,

My employer applied for a defined cos 4 weeks ago. They got an email last week ago to submit more documentation which they did.

Just wondering how long will it take from now on, as i thought it would take 1 working day as specified on gov.uk

Anyone in the same situation here?

Undefined CoS takes 1 day (actually minutes). Defined one can sometimes take months. There is no guarantee.

So there's no timeline of defined cos?
