    Broker is going  to update me thursday but its been 5/6 weeks now. 
  • So my broker just rang and she said Leeds came back with a further question that I had already answered about our furlough (we are both back full time and have been for over a month and were only off for a month). So frustrating so we have now been put back in the queue for 10 more days. Won’t hear until the 9th September now.

    Oh no! That’s awful! We haven’t been asked about furlough. Husband was but went back in June. Oh god I don’t want to wait even longer!

    @stampystamp we got asked some furlough questions, hoping they dont ask again. Finger crossed 
  • I’m literally at my wits end. The broker was quite frustrated too tbh as she said she doesn’t understand why they didn’t ask last time!!
  • ooh know! my partner was on furlough but has given leeds her return to work letter, but she has gone back on flexi furlough meaning she is working half her hours on full pay and furloughed the rest. this return to work letter was given to leeds quite a while ago now so I am hoping we don't get questions about furlough too. 
  • You should be fine with the return to work letter :)

    We dint give a return to work letter just explained my other half returned at start of june and new pay slip reflects it.
  • ooh that's good to hear! I hope they happy with return to work letter. she like I said she is flexi furlough so doing half and half, but they have had that for a while so I would have imagined they would have looked over it and are happy with that. Fingers crossed! I hope the queues decreases soon for all our sakes and sanities. :)
