More information

The closure of the scheme on 31st March 2017 saw a rush of applications but since then, the queue has steadily reduced, with the exception of an increase in March 2018 as a result of the closure of a number of grace periods.

Whilst we will continued to receive a comparatively low number of new applications, the end of the final grace period on 31st January 2019 will mean that only amendments will be received in future. Grace period requirements, however, require us to assess more evidence and, as such, applications take longer to process.

Due to the number of amendments being received, the queue remains static. The new approach to triaging all applications and amendments will have an impact in the coming months, thereby reducing the queue further.
