CFM clasp application approved and sent electronically to HQAC by RHQ on 18 Feb; HQAC respond to say it needs to be hard copy with wet signature as that’s what the MOD medal office requires (sigh…) and also that MOD medal office are working from home so can’t give a timeline on processing.
So seems that they are getting processed by HQAC (albeit probably slower than normal as people are no doubt only in the office to deal with paper stuff periodically) - and the delay is with the MOD medal office.
So far I’d say the timeline has been fine - will probs take a while to get a hard copy through the system as people are only periodically in the office but that’s only likely to be a few weeks.
I did one for my staff last year electronically and although WHQ did try and say it needed to be hard copy, I asked them to at least try and submit digitally for now given lockdown. I haven’t heard anything.
If I may ask, when did they/you apply for the clasp? It’d be interesting to know how far behind they’re running.
