If you say yes you can enter in the passcode from the back of your GE card. Then, once you finish all of the other pages and get to the payment page you'll see that the total has been zeroed out and you can submit the application without entering any payment information.
Thanks. Application submitted today
I would like to think this change means such applications are conditionally approved very quickly. It feels they can skip many of the checks, given they know the child has a parent already in the programme.
But that's just speculation. We will see.
