    Those of us who applied online before the online option was pulled have no.proof of application. Will they just delete most or all of these applications?.
    Who knows. I took a screen shot of the thanks for your application banner, but I don't think it has any specifics on it about what's been applied for!!!
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    Chances are that if the post- application process is now manual (for those who did manage an online application) then we're unlikely to hear/receive any thing until after Easter!!

    I presume they will honour those who were able to apply online.

    I applied online quite early this morning and received a phone call around lunchtime because I hadn't entered my National Insurance No. I was told that the paperwork will be sent to me shortly and I will need to send a signed form back with my initial deposit in the form of a personal cheque and provide my NINO.

    So I assume all those who applied online while this option was still available should be fine.

    Hmmm, neither did I. I thought it was optional?

    Apparently not! I'd have thought if it was a requirement it would have given an error message when submitting the application.

    I thought those fields that were mandatory had an asterisk next to them, and I'm pretty sure NI number did not have one.

    I no longer have a bank account with a cheque book. Anyone got any ideas whether you can get someone else to write a cheque for you to send to Monmouthshire?

    Opened one of the above last week.I couldn't see where it limits you to one in the verrrrry long T&Cs.

    So chanced my arm with a few more, as you do in said circumstances ;)

    Just been informed by secure message they've closed the extra ones down :(
    And now returned funds to linked account.

    Probably won't be accepted unless it's from an account with your name on it.
