What it said before
Nothing has changed while we have been watching. We last read the wording of this campaign on 17 September 2026, and it matched the copy we already held.
That copy hashes to 8af58ca2b994c84424c0b3942520082f…, so if it is ever edited the change is provable rather than a matter of memory.
This is one of 289 notices in the record whose component field names equipment adaptive/mobility. Across that group the median wait before owners were written to was 36 days.
Last checked . No change has been recorded in the wording.
