I think my 8 week appointment was more like 10 weeks. Took around 3/4 weeks from memory. I think that’s normal
I did the self submitting online form and got a call back within the week. Was 5 weeks when they booked my appointment for when I’ll be 10 +3 weeks. I’m 9 weeks so just over 1 week to go and it’s been the longest wait ever! I remember an email saying contact them if they don’t contact within 10 days.
Someone contacted me about 2 weeks before my 8 week booking appointment was scheduled
