    Hello and welcome how long is a piece of string, allow between 6 to 8 week's maybe longer but as they have found your original review form things may be different in time scale a weekly phone call for an update won't hurt if it helps.

    So sorry to hear you're still waiting @colin66, I know it can be tough when it feels like such a long time. You did the right thing by phoning in, and unfortunately I think that's all you can do at this stage. For what it's worth, I hope things move forwards for you soon, and do feel free to keep talking to us in the meantime.
