Home Office fee waiver evidence check
An adviser tool. Work through it with your client: it reads their bank statements, summarises their regular income and spending, reflects the published fee waiver criteria back, and lists the evidence they are likely to need — giving you a well-organised starting point for your own assessment. It does not tell you whether an application will succeed.
What this tool does not do:
- It does not give legal advice or tell you that a client "qualifies." The assessment remains yours.
- It does not submit anything to the Home Office.
- It does not send the client's answers, or the contents of any statement you add, to any server — everything is read and stays in this browser on this device, even for a scanned or photographed statement.

Check the transactions
Every transaction read from the client's statements is listed below (25 in total). Fix anything the automatic read got wrong — dates, descriptions, amounts, or whether money went in or out.
Explain the larger payments
Every transaction of £250 or more — in or out — is listed below. Record a short, accurate explanation for each, agreed with the client. A payment that repeats is grouped together so it only needs explaining once.
Recurring payments
Looks for the same payment appearing more than once — a wage, benefit, standing order or direct debit. Each one is listed once, and one explanation covers every occurrence. If a payment has been split into two groups, drag a date onto the right group.
