Really just posting as an update on my case for the group to see - but any thoughts/ comments I'd be interested to hear. I guess my only hesitation about asking BA to refer me to CEDR is I'm not sure it's a good idea to forewarn them - since I'm so close to 8 weeks maybe I should just wait it out?
Apologies if this comes across as a repetition but CR won't change their minds. So you may as well get CEDR going sooner rather than later, since the paralegals work off other criteria. So just ask them to confirm that this is their final position and therefore they are OK with a referral to CEDR. It's a fairly clinical process, I wouldn't labour the issue.
