You don't need to ring them to request it but sending recorded delivery was a waste of money. It's not going to get there any quicker than normal first class post with proof of posting which is free. It's not classed as arriving until it's been added to the computer, which at the moment cant take 4+ weeks. Signed for delivery means it's signed for by someone from Royal Mail sorting office. MR decision waiting times is up to 12 weeks, sometimes longer.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Thanks- that's ok, my mum sent it for me it wasn't much more than normal. what if it isnt uploaded onto the system in time? the letter said i had to let them know within 4 weeks that i want an MR?

You have 13 months to request it, not 1 month so it will be fine.
