Application Type : FLR(M) Extension
Application Submitted online on: 23 Jan 2020
Postal or In-Person Application: Online (Standard)
Biometrics Enrolled: 20 Feb 2020 In Croydon (free, there were many paid ones available but went with free option)
Method: Self Scanned & Uploaded on UKVCAS.COM (didn't pay for any extra service)
Acknowledgement Received: No
Additional Documents Requested on (if any): No
Decision Email: N/A
Decision Letter Received on: 9 March 2020 (dated 6 March 2020)
BRP Card Received on: 12 March 2020
Decision: Granted

Original visa was expiring on 13 April 2020 and the new BRP card expires on 4 October 2020 so looks like they have added 28 days to the 30 months normally given as there was unexpired time on the old visa.

Entry was on 30 July 2017 so hopefully can apply for ILR from the start of July 2022.

Should have said new BRP expires on 4 October 2022 and can apply for ILR 28 days before 30 July 2022 (5 years from entry).
