If you disagree with the outcome of your claim
If we have informed you that your child or children are not entitled to free school meals and you believe this decision is wrong, then provide evidence which confirms your entitlement within one month from the date of our notification letter.
This should be in the form of a full benefit award letter from Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) or HMRC or documentary evidence from the Home Office.
For example, your latest Child Tax Credit award letter showing all pages for the current year. Please note documents and letters older than three months are not acceptable.
We can then review your child’s or children’s entitlement to free school meals.
Provide support documents to your free school meal application.
