Negative Monies

Hello, I am new to this site ao I hope this is correct! My OH and I are applying for BR on 8th Sept. I am concerned that my OH has to contribute to my monthly outgoings as I do not earn enough. Will the BR not be issued to me because I have negative income? Thanks

    You and OH should be contributing to the same household together if you both work - its how a relationship works and how the OR will work too. If OH works and you do not though, then he will be paying all the bills and you will not be contributing as you have no income.

    How do you come up with a negative income then????
