I would like to request the Government or Parliament to consider either exempt or else reduce the NHS Health Surcharge on all visa applications/categories until 31st March 2022.
More details
Today everyone has been effected with Covid-19 and the new strain due to which many people not only have lost their loved ones but are also struggling with their finances. Even after the government help with furlough schemes of paying 80% of the wages, employees are made redundant as businesses could not cope. People are now surviving by spending any savings on them to fulfill their normal household needs. Therefore Government should atleast consider to drop or reduce the NHS Health Surcharge.
