Hi Fishies, I got info about my LEAD category via teams call, and a week later the LEAD form was released by my counsellor. Via call I was told I would be getting a progression but there is no mention about it on the the form, there is only:

LEAD category: Differentiating
Conclusion on QRMTE: Met expectations
