| Medical documentation | Obtain letters from medical professionals that confirm any diagnosed conditions affecting your accommodation. |
| Financial information | Bring two months of up-to-date bank statements for every household member over 18. |
| Identification documents | Provide proof of ID, such as a driving licence or passport, to verify your identity. |
| Carers Allowance | If applicable, provide evidence of receiving Carers Allowance or details about the care provided. |
| Address history | Prepare a complete five-year address history, detailing reasons for moving and living situations. |
| Supporting letters | Gather any letters from family members or support organizations that confirm your care circumstances. |
