Few interesting points:
- only uploaded work certificates ( no payslips, bank statements) and no s56 for this
-submitted application within a week of invite which might be the reason for getting application assessed quickly ( but only assuming)
- for police checks— they want the exact document mentioned under ‘Relevant document’ in the DHA page. I would have for grant on 15th of December if I did this correctly in the first place.
