    dont forget to put up the clothing to 120. you can but try, we put 200 for 5 of us and nothing was said..
    make sure they dont use the child benefit in the calculations too.. by rights you should not get ipa

    Done, thanks

    I guess they'll try and claw some back but if I go to the max on everything it shouldn't hurt too much

    Tillboy, do you know what they did not allow or what they cut down? how much IPA do you have to pay? also make sure they didnt use the child benefit.

    My final SOA showed a surpluis of about 90 quid, they don't appear to have cut much back as I've got an IPA of £70.

    As it was a lot better than I expected I've not bothered questioning it TBH so don't know their exact workings

    Small update, was told I would start paying IPA at end of June, now beginning of September and have heard nothing from them. Have notified them of a couple of changes in cicumstances (now out of work) but have heard nothing from them... Don't want to push them too much but is anyone else experiencing slow responses, guess they're busy right now
