OR interview - current waiting time?

Options
Hi everyone

For those who have recently gone BR how long did it take before submitting your application and getting the OR interview date? I am going to submit my form today (once I pluck up enough courage!) and wanted to know current waiting times for the actual big interview.  I know that the email usually comes confirming BR within a day or two but want to know how long I may have to wait before I get to speak to the OR.  I want to take some annual leave around that time to get things organised and prepared.  I am a key worker and working full time atm and am owed some leave.  I know it probably differs for everyone but during this COVID crisis I wonder if it is taking longer than 2 wks ie. a month? or if it is actually quicker than normal?

Many thanks
Holly

    Mine was just over 3 weeks, but that was before the pandemic.

    Is there any reason why you couldn’t have the interview during your leave? Presumably you can’t actually go anywhere. It’ll only take maximum an hour.

    I honestly don't recall having an OR interview at all, but don't panic yourself, the insolvency service will be quite flexible.

    I know it can feel daunting now but I promise, it's no big deal, just a chat about what happened financially, then life goes on  :)
