However, before we do so you should ask the applicant for evidence of their inability to meet the cost. You should consider all the relevant circumstances in deciding whether you accept the applicant cannot afford to pay for the medical evidence. Some factors you should consider include: </em></p><p> </p><p><em>• whether they are relying solely on any of the benefits listed </em>[as Jobseeker’s Allowance or low-income benefits on gov.uk]<em>; </em></p><p> </p><p><em>• whether they have a low income and are in receipt of any of the tax credits as listed </em>[on gov.uk]</p><p> </p><p><em>• whether they earn less than the minimum amount needed to qualify for Statutory Sick Pay as evidenced by a pay statement or letter from their employer or, if self-employed, copies of their most recent tax returns; or </em></p><p> </p><p><em>• whether they are struggling to manage significant debts, bankruptcy or insolvency.</em></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 28/06/2019 15:11:28 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
