on the website I think they have problems as if login problems tay advise password reset which seems to fail continually
Hope this info helps others, and thanks to all who helped Stef and I
Something's not right there timi.
1. The surcharge is only applicable for applications submitted and paid for after April 6 2015
2. Besides which, any applications for visa's of 6 months and less are not subject to the surcharge.

I believe VFS are totally incorrect.

Here's what UKVI state:-

...........
The surcharge will be introduced on 6 April 2015. It will apply to applications where payment is made on or after the 6 April.............

The health surcharge will be paid by non-EEA nationals who apply to come to the UK to work, study or join family for a time-limited period of more than 6 months......
