just a thought, could you ask them to email you a copy too, they did for us, made making alterations much easier.

It's 15 days from receipt Starlight - so ignore the date. Keep the envelope though.

If you need more time to analyse it just send a letter in anyway within the 15 days saying that you disagree with the Propsed Statement and requesting a meeting with the Case Officer - no need to go in detail at all. They shoudl then offer you a selection of 3 dates to chose from.

It must have been a mistake due to postal strikes or something. I expect they WANTED it to arrive on Friday grin
