More information on various testing options can be obtained from our website here.

Meanwhile, may we suggest that unless you need urgent financial assistance, please wait and watch. We understand that there is no cut off date for retesting. As you know there are multiple options to choose from. We can re-test for a few fortnights together, choose the best option that maximises your payment, and go in and complete the re-confirmation process for all of these fortnights in one go. This will also minimise time and cost.
