Hi Ladies,

I finally got my form sent off with all necessary info yesterday.

Does anyone know how long it takes for them to let you know if you qulaify and then to start making payments?

Thanks
Lou

Hi Lou,
I sent my form off at the end of November, they let me know I qualified within a couple of weeks, and yesterday I received a letter telling me they'll start making payments within 6 working days. Pretty prompt considering we've had Christmas and New Year in between.
