Sorry more DMP questions

I work shifts and my wages vary depending on how many unsociable hours I get,some months I will work two Sundays other months it will be one Saturday and one Sunday or some months I don’t get any weekends at all, my question is what do I put down as my income on my budget form

    Hi there


    If your unsociable hours are fairly regular then you may be able to work out an average wage. However if they are not guaranteed, and sometimes you don't get any at all, it may be best to base your budget on your basic pay and make additional payments when you can.


    I can see from your previous posts that you are thinking of applying for your DMP through Stepchange, it's best to have a chat with them about to treat the variation in your wages.
