Letter to explain dependency on my parents

Hello,
So I was sent an email
“A letter explaining your dependency on your parents. You also need to
send evidence to prove this such as a medical letter, utility bills or
rent/mortgage agreements”

Do I hand write this? And what kind of evidence; since I’ve already printed bank statements that was asked for too. It also shows my parents giving me regular allowance and paying phone bills. My dad sends money with the reason as ‘Dad’ but not specifically saying what it’s for, I don’t know if this will be a problem.

Hi there. Yes, you would write a letter confirmed this information. You can explain your circumstances on the letter. You can annotate the transactions from your father and state on the letter that the transactions you have annotated on the bank statements from your dad are for 'x,y,z'.

It gives you a list of the general type of evidence we accept in the email. The evidence will depend on your circumstance's, so if you aren't medically dependent for example, then you wouldn't send any medical evidence.

Utility bills and rent/mortgage statements are to show that it's your parent's who pay for this. Bank statements are also fine. You can provide anything else you feel shows you are financially dependent on your parents. You would be best clearly annotating all the evidence in your letter and what each piece of evidence shows. Thanks, Leah.
