What to do if the evidence is in hard-copy only, such as a printed letter

For hard copy/printed documents, you will need to scan or take a photo of the document so that you have a digital copy.

Scan or take a photo of the cover page of the document, ensuring this shows your name, the date and the details of the benefit account.
