DMP Income question

ihatedebt_2

Hi,

First of all I want to thank all of those who post on this board regularly, I have been regularly reading the threads and have found them extremely helpful. :money:

I am looking to start a DMP with CCCS, once I have started my new job (recently moved and currently no income) I am also going to be a full time student and will be getting a NHS bursary and hopefully a maintenance grant (fingers crossed) but not sure when I will be getting these as only just got my place at Uni, does anyone know whether these should be included with the income details for my DMP details?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I would presume so, but I don't know for sure.

So...... bump.

I think I would include them in the details you give to CCCS.
Don't forget, the CCCS are on your side & they will advise you as to whether or not to disclose any details to creditors.

I thought it would have to be disclosed, I am not receiving it at the moment, so will not be using it as income until I receive my first installment, whenever that may be - who knows!

Until you are receiving it, don't include it.

If your circumstances and income are likely to change over several months then I think you really need to have a chat with CCCS to discuss when the appropriate time to start the DMP is.
