    To my mind the main problem with having a BRO/BRU is that your dirty linen gets washed in public:

    As you are discharged, you dont have to inform the OR of any increases in income.

    Your BRU remains the same for the 3 years.....no credit above £500, no director of a company etc etc.

    So if you get a BRU/BRO prior to discharge and you have no IPA you will not get an IPA after AD? sorry I thought if you got a bru/bro you could still get an ipa after discharge am I wrong?
    If you woke up this morning congratulations, you have another chance :j

    Yes that is wrong. You can only get a IPA/O up to your discharge and lasts for 36 months. A BRU/O just extends the terms of BR for however long you have one for.
