  • Hi,

    Just some background info that may assist when you look at these figures:

    1. I am in receipt of income support and child tax credit, so do not pay rent or council tax.

    2. I no longer have any debt

    3. The figures I have used are the ones I originally entered when applying for BR. The only one I have increased is the gas. At the time of applying for BR, I was only putting £10pw on my meter, but I am now having to put £15. I don't want the OR to think I'm pulling a fast one, if I alter the figures too much compared to what was on my original SOA!

    4. My landline includes sky tv and broadband.

    Hope all this helps??

  • I can reduce the holiday costs that's not a problem.

    The water rates are REALLY that low..... I pay April - Oct (don't know if this is the same for everyone), and I pay around £185ish for the year.

    I have now and it does say ED, thanks Tigerfeet, I wish I had done that weeks ago instead of just looking at the main page.

    i will be sending the form back to the OR tomorrow, which I know will then take time for them to do their bit with creditors etc......so what would happen, if I were to get a job whilst all that is taking place? :confused:

    I have made enquiries with a local private day nursery to work p/time (would be 18hrs pw).....I've had to guesstimate the salary at £6.50ph and tax credits would then possibly be £120 (approx) pw.

    How would I stand then? :confused:

  • If you get a job whilst you are still BR you have to inform them within 21 days. At that point they will look at doing a IPA.
