The new form for HSMP extensions applicable from 1st April 2004 is quite comprehensive and perharps an eye opener for HSMP aspirants
1). It may be difficult to renew if your feld of employement is not in line with what you stated in the HSMP application form
please refer to Section 10 of FLR (IED).
In effect you stand a better chance to get renewal if you are unemployed (but have evidence of economic activity) rather than being in the wrong job/profession!!!
2). There is another thing I find strange about benefits (council tax benefit is listed) - but what happens if one gets the 25% discount for being a sole occupant of the property??
3). There is a question regarding how many people work in your company or how many people do you employ? is this for research purposes or what?
4). There is a question regarding where you obtained your EC - what could be the ethos behind this??
Time to dash to the Pub
