    I'm glad I got my skates on and applied for this Yesterday!


    I did mention MSE in the marketing section.
    Retired 1st July 2021.

    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?
