Realised I should have maybe mentioned how my brain makes driving an impossibility, given that I work mostly in manual labour and a lot of jobs there call for drivers.
Now I got a text today saying my statement will be getting the mandatory reconsideration treatment by 7th Feb.

and will this, at the state I am now, mean a delay?
