Military SC- an on-going saga.

Dear all, I previously posted the message below in Feb 2014 originally attached to the end of a query Re: Equity Release which we are currently going through.

This message relates to Military Security Clearance (SC) with the DBS office in York which is causing me much stress having dragged on aimlessly for months. Despite chasing from my sponsor and numerous reminders including a couple of phone calls) he is told it is still in progress! He also told me that it should have been a review as my status has also remained unchanged as a Cadet Force adult with 23years impeccable service to my name and an MBE to my credit. I am the main driving force in my cadet unit and an account holder for monies and weapons. I have been totally honest in my application. We have just passed our 54month point and confidentiality is all well and good but it the lack of SC is drawing a great deal of unwanted attention to myself now and I wondered if anyone else was having the same problems with Military SC?

My previous post was:

Being connected with the military I have just had to renew my Security Clearance (normally valid for 10years in my job) and have just had the misfortune to be sent the additional financial questionnaire which took a day and a half to complete! Needless to say that I found it very stressful (I am the worrying sort) and it was just like those early days when we entered in to our IVA. I feel a lot more relaxed now after reading the related posts and imagine that it could be some weeks before I hear the outcome. It is a distant worry though if there are any further problems with it – nobody knows about our IVA at work or friends and family. We have been completely honest and can do no more. - See more at: http://www.iva.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TO ... 33Pto.dpuf

I will bump this up for others to comment on as I have no experience of this.

Hi I am ex military and still need SC clearance for my present job. I too had to complete the additional finance questionnaire last year as part of my SC re-newel and it did take a while for them to respond but i had no problems getting the re-newel. Hang in there it could simply be a back log at the vetting agency in processing the applications.
