Sorry, but you can never trust CAA advice about any FUTURE rules/timescales.
Past history shows that the Goal Posts are continually changed so, to avoid any unseen traps, you should never, ever, rely on what they say will happen in future or on predicted dates they publish.
Your best option is to go on what is CURRENTLY published and act NOW. The alternative is wait until the future rules are published and then act, but you take a huge risk.
Another bit of advice. Never do anything on the phone, always get it in writing.
From personal experience it is the only way to avoid the dreaded CAA question "Who told you that?" (when in fact they did) followed by backpedaling, denials, claimed misunderstandings, etc., etc.
