Evidence - Please help!

I just applied for student finance today and it says my app is being processed. It wanted me to send evidence but I ticked the boxes that I don't have the evidence.

DO I need to send the evidence or will they just delay the application for further checks?

Please help!

Thanks for any advice.

If the system is asking for evidence the assessors almost always need it. If you ticked the box to say you don't have the evidence requested, you should call SFE to discuss alternatives.

Common forms of evidence required are ID evidence, evidence that you only have one parental sponsor, or evidence of independence if you are applying on that basis.
