  • Self-Exclusion Response Found: Your income or support level exceeds the threshold for eligibility.
  • Identity Verification Failed: Your ID details don’t match official records.

What To Do If Your Application Fails

If your status check fails:

  • Wait a day or two and try again — it may be temporary.
  • Ensure your application is complete and resubmit if needed.
  • Double-check your ID, phone number, and banking details.
