Failed for FEB SBF 2025

Has anyone applied for SBF with 3 Priority scheme (Parenthood Priority scheme, Married Child Prority Scheme, 1st Timer couple) yet didn't managed to even get a queue number at all? It's quite upsetting when my EDD is due Oct yet failed twice this year to get a house.

Oh no, that's really frustrating, especially with your October EDD coming up. I do know that with three priority schemes stacked (Parenthood, Married Child, and first-timer), you should be in a strong position, so not getting a queue number at all is unusual and worth double-checking, sometimes the application goes through but there's a delay in the queue number being generated, or there's a small eligibility hiccup that's not obvious. A few mums I know who've applied mentioned that even with multiple priority schemes, the actual balloting is still competitive because so many families qualify, so sometimes it just comes down to luck in that draw. But what I'd honestly suggest is reaching out directly to HDB to confirm your application went through properly and ask why you didn't get a queue number, there might be something fixable there. Given your timeline, it's worth chasing it up rather than waiting for the next round.
