We will deal with your application within 10 working days of it being received by us. We will look at your eligibility and our allocations policy. We will decide if we need any other information from you for verification.

Once we have processed your application we will write to you to let you know if you have been accepted on the list or if we need any further information from you. If we cannot accept you we will write and tell you why.
