I applied in april last year when I passed the IR. They recently called me for an assesment.
I also know a few people who have been called rencently within weeks of finishing their MCCs. That said, I know about 5 people who were called roughly after about 6 months, and about 5 who also waited a year! Just seems to be random to me....
A year was just enough time to get into the rythm of part time instruction, working and paying back the bills!
Now £260 assesment, IR, MEP and SEP renewals all at once! Sheesh, I'm not sure where the 28 large is going to come from if I'm successful!
