References 6months old

Hi,

I started filling my form back in 2015 but didn't submit as I had travel scheduled for this year. The references were filled in Dec 2015. Is it okay to use that now or shall I get the referees to sign a recently dated one?

Friend referee will happily do it again. I will need to check with my solicitor if he would like to give it again.

HO will reject references dated over 6 months ago and ask for fresh ones.
- best sort it out before you submit the form.

:idea: Pro tip: check you are using latest version of form too; (you are probably not by now)
