If the British citizen receives Carer's Allowance or one of the other specified benefits, they may be able to use the Adequate Maintenance requirement rather than the £18,600/year financial requirement. Additional details are in the guidance document linked below. See also the guidance on applying for a fee waiver, which has strict eligibility criteria but worth seeing if they are met (assuming the criteria for applying using the adequate maintenance route are also met).
