Counter Terrorism Check

Has anyone had to complete a CTC as pre-clearance for a job recently? If so, how long did it take to come through? Has the timescale been affected by Covid in recent months?

I’m at the 5 week mark and the waiting is already driving me nuts! I’ve read online anything from 4 weeks to 6 months and thought I’d be pretty straightforward (no criminal record, same address and job for 5 years) but it’d be good to know what other people’s recent experience is so I have a realistic expectation of the wait that might be ahead of me!
