You will be asked to upload a copy of an award letter as evidence of the benefits you receive. These will be separate uploads for each benefit.

However, if you already receive Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Reduction, these records will be used to determine your entitlement, therefore you will not need to upload evidence of the benefits you receive.

Also, you will need to know your Bank Account details before starting this form.
