Back on Track Policy 2023-24
6. Evidence required as part of the application process
The Council may request any information or evidence it reasonably requires in support of an application for an award.
6.1 For crisis support and settlement support, the information and evidence to be provided will be identified during the assessment. Evidence will need to be provided before an award is given to the applicant and home visits may be made to verify information.
6.2 For settlement support, if evidence is not provided the Council will contact the applicant or the specialist provider, requesting the information and evidence required as at 5.8. Applicants or specialist providers will be expected to provide the requested information and evidence within 3 working days, or contact the Council within 3 working days if more time is required. If evidence is not forthcoming then the application will be declined.
6.3 The Council reserves the right to verify any information or evidence provided by the applicant, as required. Any such request will be essential to the decision making process and will only be used in connection with Back on Track.
6.4 Examples of evidence that may be required are set out in the Evidence Requirement Guide.
