So I guess I'm mainly wondering if there is any point in following up after 5 months rather than 6. I've just heard a few horror stories of people phoning after 6 and being told the letter was sent back to receiver after 3 months and no one knew. Will it actually harm my application if I follow up now for eg?

I know they say you should / can only contact after 6 months, but thought I'd ask anyway. A lot of people seem to have had their decision after only 3 months, and I did move house during my application, so wondering if I can follow up at this point. Cheers
Thank you Mass - your posts have been really helpful. With every passing day it appears less and less likely that application will be decided anytime soon
I just called them and they said it is 6 months from date payment was taken from your account so 19 July in my case.That’s exactly what I did and they said they used the same system to check the date of the decision so since it’s been taken down she can’t see that information and I have to wait for the letter or till 6 months have passed and then it’s delt by different team who had acess to different system.MAS99 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2017 1:35 pmGuys
Just changed the tactics.. Instead of asking for status update. tell them that your case was decided and you still haven't received the letter. Then they will tell you when the case was decided and when the letter was posted.
If you ask them for status update, they know that you don't know about case decision yet. But if you tell them you know about the decsion, they would just give you all details
Happy calling
what number you have used to contact HO?MAS99 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2017 2:26 pmI just called them and they literally told me that the decision was made on 4th dec and letter will be posted in next 10 working days.. They can't give information on decision itself
BTW - when you go through options e,g 1 for nationality, 2 for this, 3 for this etc.. I always took 4 which is for anything else..
This will connect you to someone who is not specifically sitting in call centre but in back office. They have more time and resources
Thanks

The thing is that you called them on Friday when the system was still working. I might try tomorrow and use the “other” options.
and my council too 
The only time is JCAP at NCS. If you sent off already them you have to wait to approved first.Sufyan2090 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 2:57 amHi guys i have applied by post so do i still have the chance to apply for passport and if so how then ??

So I called them again following your number option advice and I got an INFORMATION out of them (shocker) that my decision was posted on the 6th. So relieved it was a true “decided” and not a glitch cuz they shutting down the service.akz wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2017 3:50 pmwhat number you have used to contact HO?MAS99 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2017 2:26 pmI just called them and they literally told me that the decision was made on 4th dec and letter will be posted in next 10 working days..

I asked them if they can help me confirm my status which showed Decided on Friday, the lady said she cannot tell as they don't have access to the system and the only thing now is to wait.
Anyone else encountered similar situation ?
I called them and had a similar response just wait and we will write you, and told that it was a trial service so no guarantees .. just wait for our letter and if you don’t get any post in 10 working days you can write us..
That’s for now if someone gets an answer from those who got status DECIDED on last Friday afternoon please update here for Good.

I applied for EEA PR in mid-September 2017,
i was checking my application status regularly and eventually on 8/12/2017 around 13:45 the status changed from awaiting a decision to DECIDED.it made me super relaxed and I made a snapshot, but to be sure once again I tried to check on 9/12/2017 but the link was down kind of strange at once its gone ?..no clue at all…super frustration times..
i am a bit worried what is next ..any suggestions
Many Thanks

That's a tough one, very open to interpretation I'm afraid. Is the date of the "authorization" same as your Decided status?

Im curious which e-mail address did you use to get such a (useless) but quick reply. All e-mails I've used were simply ignored or just got an generic reply days later.
