Providing Evidenve

How to Claim: Providing Evidence

A HB Office cannot assess a claim until all the necessary information and evidence has been provided.

ie 'certificates, documents, information and evidence' so long as these are 'reasonably required...in order to determine...entitlement'.

The claimant must provide any information reasonably asked for within a calendar month of being asked to do so.

If a claimant needs more time to provide evidence they can use Letter EV1.
