- make your cheque or postal order payable to 'DVA Coleraine'
- remember to sign and date your cheque and check it is for the right amount - the amount written in words must match the amount written in figures - do not post-date your cheque as DVA can't accept it

- if you underpay, your application will be returned to you for the right payment
