EEA sufficient resources and CSI
Dear UK Border Agency,
This is a FOIA request.
In this request, MATERIAL means existing UKBA guidelines or procedures or policy or training material or other information that may be referred to in the course of processing EEA applications for Residence Cards and Permanent Residence Cards.
I am NOT requesting content from the already-released European Casework Instructions (Chapter 2 and Chapters 4-13).
I request all MATERIAL used by UKBA in assessing whether EEA citizens are considered to have “sufficient resources” to qualify as either a “self-sufficient person” or a “student”.
I request all MATERIAL used by UKBA in assessing whether an EEA applicant’s “comprehensive sickness insurance” meets the requirements to qualify as either a “self-sufficient person” or a “student”. This may include, but the request is not limited to, lists of specific providers and policies which are sufficient or which are not sufficient, or guidelines for evaluating the specific medical insurance policy document that an applicant has submitted.
Please provide identifying reference information for all material provided, as well as providing section, page and/or paragraph information when the complete source is not provided.
Yours faithfully,
Robert Simpson

Dear Freedom Of Information Team ( IND ),
I just wanted to check that you actually got my FOI request. I got an "Im out of the office" message, likely in mistake.
Yours sincerely,

About CSI (Comprehensive Sickness Insurance):
The Home Office does not hold a list of specific insurers or insurance policies that would meet the requirements of the Regulations relating to comprehensive sickness insurance. Applications received by the UK Border Agency are assessed on a case by case basis and in accordance with the operational guidance issued.
