No OR contact....

does anybody know how long it takes for the OR to contact you back regarding change in circumstances?

Is no news good news? When would it be safe to assume that they don't want to contact me?

Notified them.just over two weeks ago about some necessary (imo) expenses and that i would be working more to accommodate.

Haven't heard a thing. Are they likely to just send a new SOA through the post to complete?

    It will probably depend on how busy your examiner is, 2 weeks isn't really that long even if it seems like it is to you.

    They will probably ask for a revised SOA if the changes are ongoing but if only for a short period of time they may give you a payment break on an IPA if you have one.

    If it's urgent, give them a call and ask if they need anything to complete the reassessment :)
  • Hi

    Nope it's not urgent. I don't have an IPA so I don't need a payment break. But it would be ongoing.

    My OR has a habit of not contacting me if they feel it isn't nnecessary so I never know. And as nice as they have been previously when I have phoned, I still don't like to ring them!

    Which is normal to be honest.

    They can't backdate any IPA, should there ever be one, so the longer silence goes the better. ;)
