Our unique On-Line DFG test of resources
Your Council engages with the client right from the start of the Friendly Forms On-Line App. It’s accessed from your Council’s website, the client is welcomed by your message and the results document gives your Council’s detailed advice about Next Steps. The App uses your branding throughout and incorporates your variations on the DFG means test.
From a management perspective, the App streamlines the delivery of Housing Grants. It deals with verifiable information throughout, capturing hard data for a proper assessment. Clients can send the data-rich download direct to your team, supplying all the financial information you need. So as well as a quick and friendly self-assessment tool, the On-Line App will significantly accelerate every client’s DFG application. You can import it directly to our iQGrants software, with major savings of time and effort for DFGs and other Housing Grants.
A complete means test based on full data acquisition
Much more than just a calculator, the App succinctly captures the full information for every element of the prescribed DFG means-test. It’s quick because every question is relevant to the individual. It’s accurate because it takes all the applicable circumstances into account. And it’s easy because the questionnaire deals solely with factual information about the client. The result is a complete and authoritative financial assessment.
When the client shares the download file, it gives your team all the means-testing data required for the application. If you use our iQGrants software it can be imported directly. Either way, after verification neither the Council nor the client will need to deal with the means-test questions again. Your team can move on to the rest of the application and get the adaptations under way.
Easy-going, reassuring & informal
Our App is designed to help the client feel comfortable in the unfamiliar territory of an on-line assessment. It uses ordinary language: questions are conversational, straightforward and always relevant to the client. Each question is supplemented by further information about the subject and explains why the answer is important.
The results download is a handy resource for the client, containing your Council’s guidance on what to do next, the additional support and assistance you offer, and a record of the answers the client has given.
Innovative systems for service applications
Friendly Forms solutions cover every aspect of the application process, from initial enquiry to the full documentation. They are tailored to your requirements to streamline your operations.
