    Even if the OR disallows it on your SoA you can still keep them and pay out of any surplus you may have?

    Not saying the OR will disallow them though!

    With £120 surplus I think it's 50% so they'll take £60, however if, like you say, your income has come down then this needs to be shown which could reduce your surplus below the £99 threshold :)

    I'm pretty sure CB isn't taken but someone with kids can confirm this?
