That's good news, only about 26 days after your clearance email. Curious, what was the huge mistake that Casa stopped?

Basically I wrongly thought that bank statements with payslips are an extra item, surely the government would just crosscheck with HMRC to verify that Pay is correct. So I made the online application on March 31st 2019, and used my March pay (paid same date) to meet the income requirement. But because my statements don’t come until the 7th, I wasn’t going to attach a corresponding payslip until Casa corrected me,

Thank you, hopefully the reference number is in the content of the email next to gwfxxxxxx. The subject of the email indicating another reference - CRMxxxxxx. Do you know what is this mean?
