SRD eligibility and the means test

Eligibility depends on the official rules applied to the SRD grant. Financial support, income signals or other verification data can affect a result, but this website cannot determine any person's final eligibility.

Use this guide to understand the concepts and reduce guesswork before you decide whether to wait, correct information or use a review route.
