New SOA

Hi All

I am going to post a new SOA later but need some help.
I am currently BR and not on an IPA.
I have recently changed jobs so going to inform the OR.
My partner is due to start maternity leave this month so do i have to enter her maternity pay into this or leave it blank as she wont have alot of money left after paying her commitments.

    Ok a few on here have had a deficit but i am not a great lover of it myself. If it was ME i would lower H/K to £230 and have £4 surplus. The decision is yours,maybe a few others will give their opinons and then you can decide. Seeing as this in not for the actual bc procedure it may not matter quite so much.Dx
