How long, in reality did it take for your early discharge to go through (from OR letter telling you you were being put forward for it, to you being discharged)?

    I think the absolute earliest is 57 days or something similar. Some people do get early discharge and some don't. Even if you filled in the forms, they may get busy and not process it. I have also heard where the OR never received the forms back etc.

    I sent my IPOQ back and have confirmation my OR has received it but I'm not really thinking of ED. Things are going fine as they are and if it takes me until automatic discharge date in April thats fine by me. Saying that I suppose I would be thrilled if it happened.

    :j :j


  • In the case of my OH it was 5 months after sending the ED forms back.....but it differs from person to person , its just a case of sitting back and letting it happen :)

    3 ½ months for me.

    It is a low priority admin job for the OR to do. For a few people it can even get shelved completely.

  • OIII...those rumours are not true:p :p

    In my case i recieved the IPOQ on 18th Dec 2007 and got Ed on 25 Jan 2008 (my maths was wrong..now theres a surprise,:rolleyes: it was 38 days) 5 months and 11 days after going BR i was discharged.:T but Fermi knows someone who did it in 5 months and 1 day so not a record.

    Hi Ooops - how long ago did you send it in? Also you have 21 days to report a change of circumstance.
