Evening all,
Recently (last week) put in my SGC application with A&S.
First question is what's their current turn around time like for grants? The FO I emailed to discuss a few other things regarding the application said it was currently taking up to 16 weeks, but I'm not sure whether this is a real 'up to' or a 'we try and average 16 weeks, best of luck'. Any light people can shed with their current experiences would be greatly appreciated. (I'm an impatient bugger!)
The second one was something that only came up when reading the ShootingUK forum. People had apparently had issues with grants when their wife/partner who was not a SGC holder had depression or some other mental disorder. My wife has been diagnosed with post-natal depression, seen the Dr and takes prescribed medication for it; which from what I understand is pretty mild stuff. Now this never occurred to me as potentially being an issue as obviously she won't have access to the guns, in fact I would very much be failing in my duty if she did. In reality how much of an issue is this likely to be? Will the interviewing officer even ask?
