Appealed by e-mail abt 1week later.
Received letter abt 1 mth ago to return to doc
Went there, told we had to go to opthamologist.
Appointment that night. Successful.
Done that. Another 150 smackers.
Told by doc, he'll return docs to her and she'll send them on.
Been 4 wks now and nothing.
Getting conflicting opinions.
I'm thinking FAIL.
About 18mths of beauracracy suffered. About 2000 big ones wasted and all for what?????????????????
Sorry abt this but its pissing me right off severely

Our panel doc sent our meds by courier, so I phoned the doctor who told us who the courier was and what the tracking number was.
I then checked the couriers website, entered the tracking number and Hey Presto! it told me when the meds arrived, at what time and who signed for them. You can then give this info to LCU.

Surely you can ring the doctor and get the details of how the docs were sent and when!!
I hope it all comes good for you all, after your "fight" you deserve a lucky break!! Got everything crossed!!

It took us exactly 70 days.
I suspect as we were non-modl the CO put us aside untill the standard 70 days to reply was up and then looked at us.
(we got our meds to Sydney within 2 weeks of CO requesting them)

Probably a silly question but how quickly do they ask you for extra information if they need it?? Is it normally quite quickly??

I'm not sure, but they seem to clear them within 2 - 3 weeks if there is no problem, so I can't see it taking that long. Maybe 4 weeks max, but that's just a guess.

Oh I hope it isnt any longer than 4 weeks I just about made it to 20 days!!
I can remember reading threads about people waiting for their decision when I had just joined this site and we were just sending off our TRA application and I was thinking, oh it cant be that bad, but it IS, infact it is worse than I thought!!
Everything goes on hold until you get the "VERDICT"!! Feel like we cant move forward and do anything else until it comes through!!
