There are some real keyboard warriors out there who are very rude. David. (but not BASC) Comes with the territory I'm afraid, when dissatisfied.......people will express their dissatisfaction! Especially with a supposedly member led organisation, that does not answer to the membership!....he walked away from criticism, which obviously includes criticism that comes from members eh? I bet he has not walked away from the wages, expenses and pension the membership pay for? I personally don't blame David or any individual for BASC's shortcomings.....but he put himself in the firing line! Easy cop out to label those that criticise as "keyboard warriors" innit?.........rather than walk away/run and hide, better perhaps for BASC to just answer the questions and criticism?

Fair comment, but having looked I can find no response from all other organisations except CA. So humor me and tell me what CPSA ( a very large organisation), SACS, NGO NRA are doing.

simonm Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Well just an update on TVPs efficiency drive - yesterday I received a letter asking me to renew early. This comes several months after the email asking me to renew early, a text saying my application had been received and letters regarding the GP report ? I'm now wondering how long my renewal will actually take ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine (SGC) has now gone through (early) and been renewed. On 02/09/2018 at 03:02, la bala said: I have just read all four pages of this post and not a murmur from BASC. I had the money demand from the Doctors (no medial issues) and contacted BASC. To put the record straight I had immediate and helpful response from the BASC, followed their advice, and all is now resolved (without me paying anything).

The 'faster than greased lightning' comment was in response to the speed of the cheque being presented! Renewal wasn't quick, but that wasn't a problem being an early renewal.

simonm Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 As an update to this topic, I today received a letter from TVP as a final reminder to pay for the medical report. I'm pretty annoyed that my GP has had my money for 2 months and has not done anything, but the main point arising appears to be that TVP will not process an application anymore without you paying for a GP's report.

This is incredibly inconsistent, my wife submitted her first application for a SGC grant and nothing whatsoever has been said about a GP report. The FEO has been in touch and I am assuming that its all gone through. TVP also by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I don't know what is happening but my renewal has just come through from TVP with no mention whatsoever of Medical. Edited October 5, 2018 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Speak to the BASC. My own experience has been detailed elsewhere in this and another thread. To summarise, I spoke to the BASC, followed their advice, had a visit from the FEO and got my renewal - no doctor involvement. If you have no medical condition to declare, there should be no need for a report from the doctors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
