Your FAQ

Question: What do I do if I have completed my application for benefit but do not have all the evidence I need to supply?

Answer: If you cannot send the evidence we need straightaway, send the form to us and let us know you will be sending some evidence later. If you do not send the form to us straightaway, you might lose money. We can start to process your claim, but we will not be able to pay you any benefit until we have all the evidence.
For a list of evidence required please see link below. - Related Link
