Reference your application, one thing I would say is if you have lost work through the SIA not sorting things out, you should consider legal action, I know of guys who lost CP tasks through the SIA and took them to court over it.And won. My first Badge took me 9 months to get, then when I went to re-new it they messed me about yet again,so I got my local MP on the case and got it pretty quick, ie within a week.
In my opion the SIA is a joke. but we all know that.
