Job same, income same, do i need to tell?

Hi

I've just read in the guide to BR that I need to tell my OR if there is an increase in income. Do I need to tell them if I have changed my employer but my income is still the same (or has gone down)? I dont have an IPA.

Thanks in anticipation.

Nope you shouldnt need to if its just a job change (if your moving house then you'd need to inform) ...you need to inform the OR if your finances increase or decrease within 21 days

I wouldn't have thought so, but I suppose there's no harm in telling them, I don't think there's any need at all if you're discharged and your income hasn't changed.

Its decreased marginally - are they interested if the amount is so small?

well even if its gone down a small ammount ring or email the office to tell them...that way your covered

Have any of your bills changed/increased since you set up your IPA? Might be in your interest to re do the figures.

Thanks - just one more question if anyone knows, are those 21 days from the date of change or from when you know exactly what youre wage is going to be. I know roughly but its not exact and I dont know how much TC I'll be getting. Hence the hesitancy in contacting them until I know.
