Preventing homelessness
Preventing homelessness - The interview
We will tell you where to come to an interview. Bring to the interview:
- identification showing your national insurance number (like a P45, payslip, official letter, national insurance card)
- details of your address or last address
- the name of your doctor
- details of other organisations that are helping you
If you are subject to immigration control bring any paperwork you have that shows you have the right to live in the UK.
When you get there
Go to the reception counter. We will ask a few basic questions - your name, date of birth, national insurance number and so on. We'll ask you to wait for a full interview to look into your circumstance in more detail. This should be in no more than 30 minutes although it could be longer in busy periods.
At the interview we will investigate your application in detail to help us make a decision.
