If you don't have all the required documents right away, you can still begin your application, but you'll need to upload all necessary evidence before your application can be assessed. This process can take time, as your application will be temporarily suspended while you gather the outstanding documents.
Here’s what you’ll need to keep in mind:
| Required Documents | Notes |
|---|---|
| Proof of identity (e.g., National Insurance) | Needed for all household members over 16 |
| Proof of household income | Essential for assessment of your application |
| Address history (last six years) | Include postcodes and landlord details (if applicable) |
You can upload your documents later via the ‘My documents’ tab in your online account. However, your application won't be processed until all required documents are submitted.
