UK fiance visa - PIP benefit amount and bank statements mix-up

Question

i (the sponsor) just paid for the fiance visa application.

in the application, since i receive PIP benefit, it asked me how much of it was received in the past 12 months, so i counted through my online transactions and put the total.

afterwards i realised i was counting via my online bank transactions, that show my most recent transactions but not any of my actual details (name, account details etc).

i then found the proper monthly summary statements that show these, but they are missing most of last months transactions, as it only goes up to the 12th of each month, in this case 12th of june.

so this means now that my 12 months of financial proof don't match the number i wrote in the application of what i have received via PIP.

my next bank statement is only available on the 12th, which means it would now be after the application, which does not seem to be allowed and i'm guessing i can't wait anyway, because that would be too many days away from the statement date and would show transactions after the application date.

refund and reapply?

Answer 1

Turning comments into an answer: As @MJeffryes says, no need to cancel. This is such a minor and clearly inadvertent discrepancy, it is easy to correct in a cover letter. Applications don't get refused for minor errors like this but for fundamental issues. Cancelling and reapplying can lead to more issues, such as the application not being properly withdrawn, and waiting for refunds.

However, in a question Help/Critique: - UK 2yr Visitor Visa (China - Super priority application) from Dec 2022 you describe your relationship as being online only at that time, while in a very recent comment you say that you did not proceed down the visitor visa route. It therefore seems possible that your relationship with your fiancé remains online only. Having met in person is a requirement of paragraph A290 (ii) of the UK’s Immigration Rules pertaining to fiancés and proposed civil partners. Not having met in person prior to submitting your fiancé application would be a fundamental issue that cannot be corrected in a cover letter.
