Thank you very much for your help, much appreciated.

It says, it has been received, no outstanding issues at the moment, we aim to process your claim within 6 weeks, and payment in 20 working days

Thank you very much

They've replied that they are working on the claim, and all seems to be in order. It is agricultural, but built for ourselves from personal funds, we haven't claimed the vat back on a business throughout the build, all left til the end.

Do I put an intro here? Anyway, we built an agricultural tied dwelling, we started properly in feb 2018, Been in a couple of months now. It was a greenfield site when we bought it, one application was refused, then got it on the 2nd ?

I'll get my solicitor involved before it comes to that. Is CIL governed by the local authority rather than central government?

Thank you, yes a friend mentioned five months for his, but I didn't know if his agent had slowed it down. I will send hmrc a letter, as you say, I can't be the only one. I'm hesitant to get the new build insurance, just to prove that it's a self build, when hmrc has acknowledged that I'm self build.

I'm in England ?

Thank you Peter, I have emailed them the acknowledgment and I've asked them to email me to state what I intend to do. The lady on the phone just worried me a bit, I don't think she realises how much money they're dealing with! I will send a hard copy by recorded post, as you say with a side note ?

This is my first post, so thank you for reading. I've applied for CIL, I haven't been told that I've done anything wrong so far. We didn't have a self build mortgage, or a self build warranty, so my evidence will be the self build vat return, which I have acknowledgement of, but not yet confirmed. Has anyone else used only this? I have until october for the CIL, and the HMRC say 6 weeks from now, but longer at peak times. Has anyone had them take much longer than this? Thanks in advance.
