Yes, you do. Official award letter/document and bank statement of an account or accounts into which award is paid.

No. That's not how I interpret it. As no recourse to public funds applies to ever applicant, you still need to declare any public funds you are legally getting (through your British or settled partner). In the past you only needed to tick a box to say you are getting Child Benefit etc, but now they require you to provide evidence, even though it plays no part in meeting the financial requirement and you are legally allowed to receive it. Yet another example of Home Office asking more and more details. It also helps Home Office in conducting background checks.

 

[Joppa]

No but they may send the form back for you to fill in the details.

 

[Joppa]

Just one statement showing the award being paid. It's fine applying jointly as the rules require it, provided you have stated your partner is subject to immigration control (usually by ticking a box).
