Completing the forms

Completing the form relevant to your circumstances will help us decide whether to accept, review or challenge your claim.

If you don't provide sufficient details supporting your claim, we may seek further information or evidence.

You only need to answer the questions to the extent to which they are relevant to your claim.

We will not argue that your responses to the questions in this form amount, by themselves, to an unintended waiver of your LPP.
