    Depends on what they ask for.

    1 month will do if you have less than £10,000.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    You should have at least three months worth of bank statements (as you can backdate a claim)
  • Send them a month or two, they'll ask for more if they need it.
