Big difference between contacting them about pushing a renewal/variation and an initial grant application.Racalman wrote:I sent my renewal forms to TVP last July and my FAC expired in November.
At the end of January I sent the FLD a polite email explaining that I needed to buy some primers and the next day the FEO phoned to say he'd been asked to expedite my application. The new FAC arrived two weeks later.
It can't harm your case.
I'd be inclined to just sit and wait with a grant, you just don't know if trying to push a grant may count against you?
