Hope you get it back! well I discovered they cashed the cheque in mid February, so hopefully one fine day they will confirm we have a bond!
Yes, thanks -- it turned up the very next day (i.e. yesterday). Happy result.
Sent in the bond forms together with the EPA certified copy, on 20 Jan.
Bond purchases confirmed OK in letters dated 31 Jan and 02 Feb.
Then my EPA certified copy came back in a letter dated 28 Feb (saying, "For your convenience, we are returning it without delay on the assumption that you might need to present it to other organisations").
They processed everything trouble-free even though we'd used the regular application form for the bonds rather than the Attorney form (which I think wasn't openly visible on their web site at that time).
Satisfied customer!
So, returning to the original question:
I can now say: Yes.
(As always, make sure it's the certified copy you send, not the original.)

Just thought I'd update on my application. Finally got the certificate and the bond, which is backdated to 31 January, so that's good, but that really took quite a while. Oh, and they sent it all to a random different house number in my street and then asked for identity all over again, because that address hadn't been checked by them, and after several annoying phone calls (they have that system where they pass you on to someone and you have t start telling your story all over again, I had to do it 3 times) but finally Mum has her bond, phew, that took nearly 2 months.
Now I am thinking of opening a post office isa for her, but I think I may need a lie down first. Anyone tackled post office isa with PoA?
