What information do I have to provide?

You must tell us about anybody who is part of your household for example, partners, children and non-dependants. We will also need some details of other people who share your accommodation for example, co-owners, joint tenants, boarders or lodgers.

What details are you required to give?

• Full name
• Date of birth
• National Insurance number (for you and your partner, if you have one)
• Income (including benefits, pensions & wages)
• Savings and investments
• Rent
• Bank details 
• Details of your landlord (where appropriate).

You will be asked to provide documents to prove the information you have given. All documents provided must be originals – copies won't do!
