Form Help please!!!!

raradel

I'm just completing my form (after just looking at it for a week) and just wanted to clarify that when listing expenditure (rent, bills etc) that it only wants the totals that I pay and everything my oh pays goes into "contributions from other individuals".

Evening!

Who is going BR, just you? Are you both employed and do either of you claim benefits (anything from child benefit to income support)?

raradel

Just me going br - no joint debts - everything in my name. I get child benefit and tax credits. Im no longer working but OH is and more or less pays everything I just put benefit/credit money towards weeks rent, school dinners and groceries.

Sono salito sulla cattedra per ricordare a me stesso che dobbiamo sempre guardare le cose da angolazioni diverse. E il mondo appare diverso da quassù. Non vi ho convinti? Venite a vedere voi stessi. Coraggio! È proprio quando credete di sapere qualcosa che dovete guardarla da un'altra prospettiva

Cool. Same as me then. As I do not work I put down everything for the household, so rent, council tax, utilities, phone bills, my car insurance, my pension etc - but not OH's personal bits like his car insurance. I then added up the main household bills, but not my car insurance/pension etc and listed that amount at the contribution OH makes (rounded it up to another tenner).

You still have to list the child benefit and the child tax credit, but as this is your only income you should not have an IPA applied.

Does that make sense at all?? Sorry, its late!

Dez-Titute

Sorry


I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.

You OK tonight Dez???

raradel

Thats great skylight - I just wasnt sure if they wanted the household expenditure or just what I spend credits/benefits on.

They will want to know how you afford to live, so that they can see if anything is amiss and you don't get into trouble again. Just try to keep the grand total income and outgoings on a similar level (no more than £40-50), if you see what I mean...
