6. Supporting evidence requirements

6.1 To assess an application, the Council will require supporting evidence, including but not limited to:

  • recent bank statements
  • evidence of reduced income or employment changes
  • unexpected essential expenditure, for example emergency household repairs
  • confirmation that the applicant cannot access HAF provision if relevant

6.2 This evidence ensures Crisis Payments are used only to address verified, immediate financial crises in line with CRF guidance.
