SBGOK · HOW IT WORKS

From first check to recovery, step by step

The eligibility check and initial assessment are free. If SBGOK offers to take a case forward, the recovery route, funding and any external costs are agreed in writing before work begins.

1 · Free eligibility check

Two to five minutes, ten questions, no documents needed. You get an indication, not a decision.

2 · Secure intake and evidence

You create a secure case, add a chronology and upload what you have. You can save and return at any time.

3 · Human review

A human reviewer assesses the information provided. SBGOK’s current public commitment is to respond within 14 working days; an incomplete matter may require further evidence before a decision.

4 · Engagement agreement

If a case is taken forward, written engagement terms set out the recovery route, any contingency arrangement and the treatment of external costs before work begins.

5 · Recovery route

After engagement, SBGOK pursues the agreed route and provides updates in accordance with the engagement terms and the circumstances of the case.

The five stages

The first three stages cover assessment. The current public service commitment is a response within 14 working days; this is not a guarantee that a case will be accepted.
