Did I get the fee waiver or not? The decision email is hard to understand, have a look.

I'm not sure what the N/A answers mean, do you? Did I get both the application fee and the IHS waived? Or does this mean I received a partial waiver? Thanks for your help ahead of time.

Dear ---------,
This letter is to inform you that your fee waiver request has been considered
alongside the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS). On this occasion the
following decisions have been made:

Fee waiver Fee Waiver IHS
accepted token code Exemption accepted
N/A N/A Yes

You should now complete your immigration application.
If any of the above-named applicants have had their fee waiver rejected but
exempted from the IHS payment you will need to insert the following code into
the IHS reference number screen when completing your immigration
application:
-------------------
You should note that whilst a IHS waiver has been accepted, should your
subsequent immigration application result in you being granted leave to
remain, you would reasonably be expected to use the duration of this leave to
ensure you have funding available to pay for any future immigration
applications.
As you have been accepted for a fee waiver. It has been considered that you
may qualify for travel assistance to attend their appointment at the Service
and Support Centre (SSC) in Croydon.

N/A means "Not applicable". Seems your IHS has been waived.

What else did you apply for? 1 or both?
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!

Thanks for answering. Yes I applied for both. I think you have to, then they decide if you get both, or one, or none. The wording on the bottom says I've been granted a fee waiver, but there is no code to use on the payment page of the application... leading me to believe that's a no for the fee waiver part, then why not write no..they know how to use a yes apparently.. I'm asking around so hopefully I'll have an answer. I'll let everyone know here so there's a reference how to read these decisions for other people.
This is misleading and I am forced to read between the lines as to what the decision is. also N/A is an abbreviation and should be written out in it's full form" Non-Applicable"
This is my 4th post and even though people reply, so many more just read it pass on. Leave a comment, even if it's some little bit of knowledge it could go a long way and actually help someone. That's what this board is all about. Thank you and Cheers
Any more answers are welcome. I'm hoping someone has received a decision on their fee waiver application recently and knows.

In the end the NHS surcharge fee was waived but not the application fee. Thank you everyone for your help.

Thank you for getting back.
@Tictack's interpretation of the letter was on track.
