Amazon ElasticBeanStalk Worker Tier cannot connect to SQS

Question

Currently I'm having issues to allow my worker to connect to SQS. Here is the log:

2014-07-21T21:37:26Z error: AWS::SQS::Errors::AccessDenied: Access to the resource https://sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/343152361204/dev-compose-request is denied.

dev-compose-request is the name of the Queue.

I am able to post messages from my other ElasticBeanStalk WebApp (server-tier) into this Queue.

My Worker Tier is in a security-group which allows any outbound connection.

Sounds similar to: AWS Beanstalk Worker can't start SQS daemon aws-sqsd

Can you make sure the IAM Instance profile associated with your environment (may be named aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-role but could be named something else as well) has all permissions listed in the link above? (Copied below for reference)
