The process
Once you have submitted your application, ABTA LifeLine will come back to you with any further questions. After this your case will be considered by the Trustees who will decide if they can help and in what capacity.
ABTA LifeLine will do their very best to assess your application as soon as they can, but please be mindful that these are very challenging times with many people seeking help.
The application form itself is not a guarantee of help. Each application will be treated on a case-by-case basis and with the duty of care it deserves.
