HO has gone surprisingly quiet since last week, even on Jan payments. I wonder if they are also gone on a strike just like the underground folks.

[Eureka.Power]

or have they taken all the money and ran away lolzzz.

[sidhujazz]

oh pants...that seems more likely.

[tea_time]

I'm still waiting. I will post as soon as I have news.

[Fairychild]

Still waiting... applied 18 November. Money 13 Jan. I'm impatiently checking the post everyday... My initial thought was middle February but then the 2 November approvals gave me hope for sooner.

@Unionbank, could you please remove this post from Nov timeline? It's place is in Dec. Thanks for letting us all know about Dec approval.. very unusual for fees deduction too.. but this looks to me like Pqek's case.. Congrats coolali!

[TTOE]

The end of this waiting game must feel so close and yet so far away for the Nov 2013 folks.

[Eureka.Power]

Cant believe some of the Dec ones got their approval... but Nov is so bloody quite.....!!!

[collipu]

Don't understand the sequence of applications being processed, December approvals coming but Nov/Oct still waiting?

[InUkOnHsmp]

My theory based on recent events, is HO has allocated separate teams of CWs for each month Oct, Nov, Dec etc, hence the approvals are coming in parallel and not in a sequence.

This is a great move if its true.

[MattSule]

Whatever the system they are using, the wait is painful.
