We are not this agency and we cannot apply on anybody's behalf. Applying is free, and no one needs to pay a third party to do it.

What we screen on

These are the rules the checker actually uses. Every one carries the source it was read from and the date it was read, so you can check us.

What we will not tell you

We will not tell you that you qualify for this, because that is the agency's decision and not ours. We screen against the rules above, we show which ones we could check, and we say plainly when a rule exists that we do not hold.
