He was going to give us one for £240.00 a month......
MollyBear im nearly certain he HASNT disregarded child benefit at all its the only way those figures equall an IPA of £200 is if its countedThats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all ………….0 -

anyone else want to check those figures, see if ive got them wrong
Yep agree BaaB
Income £2455, less £2334 = £121
Sounds like he has included CB while working out surplus, which would make it £397, not sure what the IPA % is on that?

31.7.29 After school clubs
An expenditure claim for after school clubs can be allowed if they are used to provide childcare whilst parents are working. If the use of the club (s) is simply a matter of convenience for the bankrupt and/or his/her spouse/civil partner/partner the bankrupt should be informed that the cost of funding the club (s) must be funded from the amount of surplus income left with him/her after deduction of the assessed IPA/IPO contribution.
And that could take you under the IPA threshold altogetherThats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all ………….0 -
31.7.28 Extra curricular classes/activities for children
Whilst it can be considered reasonable to allow expenditure to be claimed by the bankrupt to fund one extra-curricular activity per dependant child, any claim for additional extra-curricular classes/activities should be funded by the bankrupt from any surplus remaining with them after deduction of the assessed IPA/IPO contribution.
And insisting on this would;)Thats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all ………….0 -
It's daft that after school club isn't allowed but if the children had been swimming, cubs etc. the OR probably would have allowed something.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0
