I have read a couple of comments on here where people claim to have had the letter, I say "claim"because one said they'd received it on Jan 5th !
Did you shield in the first lockdown? if so my advice would be to shield now.Be extra nice to new members. -
Yes shielded last time was just wondering when the letter will come and also the VIT D they promised I'm in the UK by the way, if this makes a difference to when letters are sent out
-
I got an email on the 7th but no letter as yet

Hi @angnryan
This link takes you to the 'Get vitamin D supplements' webpage. You apply using your NHS number and it says there is a deadline in a couple of days:We'll share your name and address with a partner provider working with DHSC and they will send you 4 months' supply of supplements from January 2021.
You can make 1 application for vitamin D supplements. You need to apply before Monday 11 January 2021.
So if you haven't already applied, I'd try to do it quickly!Online Community Co-ordinator

Hi I have had one which is a surprise as it was 12 weeks into last lockdown till I got a letter
-
Yes email received 3 days ago and letter usually arrives about 3 weeks later.
-
All I have had as yet is a text on 30th December it just says all clinically extremely vulnerable people in tier 4 should shield, I'm worrying they have taken me off the shielding list as I've still not had a letter, can anyone help please

Shielding again wasn't announced until 4th January and it could take a few weeks to receive the letter. If you received the letter during the first lockdown then you should receive the letter this time.

My shielding letter just arrived, dated the 7th same date as my email.
