Quick Open Uni question

I'm unsure of what to do with the financial support.

It asks for annual income for the last complete tax year. I only worked 6 months of it, was unemployed and earned nothing for the other 6 months.

This year i will (hopefully) be working a full 12 months so will be earning a lot more.

Am I right to put what i earned in 6 months? Or should it be based on if i was working 12 months?

Thanks

    Put the amount you actually earned plus any benefits for the last tax year.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    You don't want to put it down if you didn't actually earn it so put down the 6 months you did work, plus any money from taxable benefits (if you were on jsa or income support).
  • Yes, it's simply your annual income. So that's the amount of income you had in that year - not your potential income.
