No, I haven't recieved an email saying decision has been made. Just on the phone.

Reading other peoples post most said they didn't get an email stating decision made until they got the email from tlscenter to collect the passport. A jentelm posted he waited 13 days after the call to get an email. So it depends.

MALIK I haven't recieved a phone call from the home office so i'm not sure. However, if it is emportant they will definitely call you back or email you.
