Great to hear that.
It would make sense if you link to your previous post (or replied there with this post) as it would help people understand your circumstances.
See
Previous post.
Did you add something (documents/cover letter) to the application to help with the discretion decision?

Congratulations, a very happy day for you indeed
Would you please tell me how many of those absences were in the last 12 months ? I am concerned about mine as it may need to go above the 90 days limit for work reasons.
Many thanks.
Regards,

Thank Jambo,
I did write a detailed cover letter pointing out that i do meet several of the criterias for discretion, i also got a letter from my previous employer affirming the dates they sent me out on business plus a lot more documents i.e mortgages, daughter,wife documents,p60s etc... i had a ton of documents and insisted that the NCS worker include them when she tried to remove some saying it wasnt needed...
