You are making me laugh now

it's been just 10 days. you need to go for a long vacation of around 3 months, by then you should receive something from them.
I haven't heard anything from them for 4 months now, and that too came after a gap of 4.5 months.
You should receive you PPR, if all goes well by July 2016.
Not having a reference letter could be an issue, but since you have given them other evidence supporting your work experience it should be fine. However expect a site visit or telephonic verification. I am certain that you will have some kind of verification. Hope this helps.
