    They will look at everything you send them.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Good luck for tomorrow @kaishalewis. At least it’s an early one, so it’ll be done and dusted.
    I made notes, so I had it to hand to refer too.

    That's awesome hun! It's far from easy taking that call! But it's done now u can relax about that at least!
    I didn't bother getting copy of report but lots of people do get one :smile: I'm glad I didn't now though because I got a no (hence me doing MR now?) and if I'd of got the report in advance it would of been an extra week of being peed off for me haha but that's how I roll!
    At least if u have been recommended for enough points to get pip u can kind of relax about getting a no as its unlikely (not impossible) they normally tend to go with the report from what I've seen on this forum anyway?! 
    But today just for now its all positive because that dreaded call is done and out the way so you can finally try and get back to normal  if there is such a thing lol :smiley:
    I don't think we people in general give ourselves enough credit for actually doing these things we find so bloody hard? We are always seemingly judging ourselves negatively for the stuff we struggle with or can't do instead of looking positively at what we have done no matter how difficult? Plenty of that but I myself definitely forget to remember about them lol! So us doing the assessment is huge in itself! So fair play hun!
    Have a fab day (flipping hot here melting lol) :sunglasses: xx
