More Money after AD

After your discharge from BR you gain an “asset” – which you cash in meaning lots more money in the bank.

And you have an IPA for the remainder of the 3 years.

In essence your living costs have “changed” because of your new found wealth.

Will you need to alter your IPA because there is now “technically” a higher surplus?

    The OR can not take a lump sum, but if you use the money to make an income i.e by investing it then the increased income will affect your IPA
