It's in the hands of the APRA gods now!

First topic message reminder :

The form and documentation have been sent off to APRA so *hopefully* I should know something about my fate in a few weeks. This is the really nerve wracking part - going to the surgeon was nothing compared to this!

Spoke with APRA this morning, I have a reference number now! That means I'm in the system (one step closer!!!).

They also asked me to phone back TODAY with my RSE number from my Super Fund - something to do with the ABN and exact name - I'm with MLC and they appear to have many names and ABN's for different funds.

I was also told that my application will be assessed on Wednesday. Should they need more info, they'll try to phone me otherwise a letter will be sent asking for the details.

17/3 Application sent by email
22/3 Email confirmation re application received
1/4 Application entered
4/4 Phoned for reference number, RSE number provided
6/4 Application assessed
7/4 Advised that application has been accepted!!! WooHoo ... you've gotta stay positive right!?!

Haha thats ok.. :)

Oooops, probably should have said entering 16 March ... Not sure how long the entering to processing to approval stage is!?

Sorry Paity.

good luck guys I know the seems like forever, I remember when I was waiting, it was hell. I have my fingers crossed for you and hope you get it.

Brutal, I sent another email to them yesterday asking about my application and I haven't heard anything back from them as yet! I will let you know the date of the applications they are processing as they always state this in their emails.

Cheers,

They are only processing applications received on the 11th march 2011. So according to my calculations, my application should be processed by the end of this week. *FINGERS CROSSED*!

I sent mine last Wednesday, my op is scheduled for the 18th, so I'm very interested to see how long it takes for you to get the letter in your hands.

Good luck.. I hope all goes well!

Hey Fraggle,
APRA called yesterday & asked me to get my Dr to add more detail to his letter. They said everything looks good. They asked me to fax the letter & ring to confirm they have it. I was so worried cause my surgery is booked for the 18th April & I have to pay everything this Monday. My parents also offered to cover me until my super came thru which is a huge relief. When I ring tomorro they said they should be able to give me a verbal answer.
So, still everything crossed until tomorrow !!

Hi Fraggle,

I'm just about to hit send on the email for my application too, just waiting for DH to have a final read through in case I've missed something ... this is the part that I'm most freaked out about too!

I've lost over 2kgs this week - I think it's just from stress.

Fingers are crossed for both of us!!

Fingers crossed **D**
