Yes you are definitely in a good spot, first on the list. When I spoke with someone there in may they informed me I was number 7 of 15 or so people in my subgroup, i dont remember exactly the cutoffs but it was around 18 as well. She said I should not give up hope by any means as there would be some movement, but prepare to go without... I really hope I dont end up getting it in the new year (though I would take it), because I started an OGS in May, and if they only retro pay to september i would be 5 big ones in the hole!
