ILR adequate maintenance checklist

Post by Obean118 » Thu Aug 13, 2026 8:36 pm

I’m applying as a sponsor on carers allowance. Please can someone review the docs I will be submitting and comment on if anything is missing or if the any of the following isn’t necessary
Also if anyone can answer the following

⁠Are 6 months of payslips with his employer enough as he’s been on Statutory Sick pay JAN-JUNE 2026 and will be able to meet financial requirements with this pay
2. ⁠Missing one week payslip due to being sick at the start of his sick leave will a cover letter be enough to explain
3. ⁠Not sure about proof of Universal credit; uc statements As amounts vary each month should I submit 6 months of UC statements* and calculate an average or is the last month enough
4. ⁠Council tax also was different month to month do I need to explain this or should I rely on the last months figure for the calculations
5. ⁠Accountant certificate of confirmation what figures need to be shown? Just the income from self employment for the year and the net profit?
