    I'll give you that...

    It has EVERYTHING to do with location.

    If you have been there 24 months and spent over 40% of your time there (and 1 day a week WFH still makes it over 40%), then you will not be able to claim once you know that your contract will take you over 24 months.

    Yes - that would be point (b) in the original post.

    That is correct - it is entirely based on your expectation.
