Thank you!!! Also, as I was completing my application I came across the section where it’s asking me about my parents. Well hey have been separated for about 3-4 years now but they haven’t done it legally. They live in different countries so it’s impossible to obtain something from their lawyer since they don’t have one... I live with my mum in England and my dad lives thousand of miles away. What exactly can she send to prove her situation???

Hi Bianca,
If your parents are separated you would list the parent that you would normally live with and their new partner on the application if they have one.
If you live with your mum on her own, the easiest thing to send as evidence of her marital status, is a copy of her most recent council tax award notification showing 25% discount for single person occupancy.

Thanks Rona
Thank you so much! Just went through the papers and found her most recent one. Should I write a letter explaining the circumstances on the last pages ?

Hi Bianca,
The local authorites send out the new Council Tax Award notifications this month for 2018/19 she should have received it very recently to advise the new monthly payments which will start from April 2018.
As long as it shows 25% reduction for single person occupancy, a clear photocopy will be acceptable evidence.
