Missing information or evidence means 40% of applications are returned.

Rejected hardship applications cause delays and extra work on all sides.

We want to help you avoid seeing your application fall into the 40% that are returned because of missing information or evidence.

A new guide ?How to avoid a rejected hardship application? is now available on the Justice website (see below).

This will help you understand the process better and make a successful application.  It includes information on:

• the hardship review process
• different processes for the magistrates? court and Crown Court
• additional expenditure that can be considered
• evidential requirements
• most common reject reasons

Please also use the criminal means form completion guidance available on the same page.
