The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our

limit.

If you are not happy with this extension, you have the right to make a
complaint to the Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available
