Mistake with date when I came first to the UK

Hi guys,

I've made a little mistake on my British Citizenship application with the date I first came to the UK (I put August instead of July). They might notice it because on the Settled Status it now looks like I received it before the 5 year period.
I submitted a Cover Letter explaining this. I will also let them know about this during my UKVCAS appointment. Would this be enough? Or should I do something more?
I really hope they won't refuse my application because of this :(

As you have already informed UKVI then there should be no issue.
Note that the appointment is with UKVCAS (contractor to UKVI) - they are not caseworkers and cannot change your application - but you can mention it as well. Mistakes do happen - applicants don't get penalised/refused for simple mistakes.

covering letter would suffice.
