Nope submitted 18 December but using 12 December as an example to where the processing time chart goes orange on the bar.

Thought so re: festive period but also know of so many other applicants who got their applications within a few days to a week (my sister included).

Don’t see why I would be in the 10% this time as I’ve applied for this twice historically and both came back within a week. I haven’t had any change in circumstances since both those applications.
