Apply for FIS as soon as possible after you start work, or you could lose payment.
You will need to give the following documents:
- a number of recent payslips to show your income,
- your latest P60 (if you have one), and
- your Certificate of Tax Credits for the current year (if you have one).
Even if you do not have these documents when you fill in the application form, send us the form straight away. You can send the documents or certificates as soon as you have them, but please remember to state your full name, current address and your PPS Number when sending them in. This allows us to match them to your application form.
