Oh FFS, LDCs are lumped in with enforcement which is running at an average of 51 weeks + validation?

 

@kandgmitchell - did you get to 'validation' yet - it would be useful to have a time-from-file-to-validation data point for that flavour.

 

I have one for householders, which is 4 weeks file -> validation.

Hi Alan,

I submitted the appeal on the 26th October 2022. I got my start letter on the 14th November 2022 so a pretty quick response. However I got this today in response to my formal complaint that the process was taking too long...
