    Yes you can but the BI back as it has nothing to do with the mortgage. I presume that you have informed the OR of your wifes change in income

    You do not need to tell them her wage of her employment details but as she is now earning it will increase her contribution to the bills which might leave you with a surplus. Therefore you need to tell the OR that your circumstances have changed
