Sgc. Anyone Heard Of This?

[walshie 2,804]

My mate (in a different force area to mine) applied for his SGC ages ago. After the interview he was told he'd hear in 7-9 days, but unofficially there was no problem.

 

That was 9 weeks ago now. He has called them a few times and they say they don't issue SGCs without a letter from the applicant's doctor, which they are still waiting for. Surely they should have done that before the intereview if they were going to.

 

I didn't think it was standard practice to speak to your doctor. They didn't speak to mine. My FEO told me that.

 

Is this new legislation or bullshit?

Yeah, I know they CAN contact your doctor, but I didn't think they did every time.

For your first application i reckon they will but not for a renewal as they ask has any thing changed , But nine weeks is about right for first time ,its dead slow and stop thats why they want to increase the price
