Urgent travel to India without BRP

[bastabreality]

My wife successfully changed from tier 5 to tier 2 visa, but missed brp collection. We informed them online and they replied that it will be redelivered in 10 working days, still no update from them till date. We urgently need to go to India next week.
Is it possible to travel without brp in hand ?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Returning without a valid BRP may be problematic?

What arrangements are you thinking up to make her have it at hand for her return?

I saw on gov.uk regarding one time replacement brp for 154£, will that be sufficient.
Also, does any one have any experience with this ?
Should I apply for it from UK before leaving or from India after reaching.
