Thank you both for the advice! Excellent point for #3 Biggie, I guess I weirdly got it in my head that if I asked too early (after one year) that somehow it’d be noted and I wouldn’t be able to get one at all in the future.
And that’s a great talking point phantom! Hadn’t thought of that, but it makes sense. In fact, I was thinking of applying for it separately anyway, haha.
