Asked for an updated today;
"Thank you for your message. Due to the volume of applications that we have for review, and given the new extended evidence review time frame, I'd say that you should receive an response from us by the end of next week. Let me know if you have any further questions, and I'll reach out if we require anything further or once I've completed the review.
Kind regards and thank you for your patience."
