Decisions must be processed on all remaining main scheme applications submitted after the January Equal Consideration date up to and including 30 June. The deadline also includes applications made in Extra.
If there are applicants who you don’t have a chance to consider prior to the deadline (this may happen particularly with interviewing subjects), then it’s worth contacting them before the deadline to let them know and if they are interested, to contact you.
For those applicants where you’re not able to make a decision prior to the RBD:
- You can process amended decisions before the DBD on 17 July, PROVIDED the applicant hasn’t replied to any offers or added a Clearing choice. Please note, applicants who RBD can’t have their offer amended to a reject or withdrawal. Please inform the applicant(s) that although they will RBD, you will be amending the decision.
- If applicants have replied and are holding firm/insurance choices elsewhere, please be aware of the business rules and do not approach them.
- If applicants aren’t holding any offers after the RBD and are in Clearing, you can pick them up as a Clearing referral - If any are single choice applicants, please speak to the Customer Success Team who may be able to support to save the applicant having to pay a top up fee to refer through Clearing.
