IPA and change of circumstances

Have got an IPA which I've started paying this month it's just under £500 a month (pus tax) as am living with parents, so the OR wouldn't allow some of the expenses I had put down on the income and expenditure form.

Anyways next month I am getting married and am planning on moving out of my parents in with my wife. Anyways just wondering if a would be able to change my outgoings. Also my wife doesn't work at the minute, so a think it would mean a would have to "keep her".

What would be the best way to ask the OR about changing the amount of the IPA??

Also how much rent would be acceptable to put down? Is there a limit?? Just so a can starting looking for properties

    basically MB are paid to do all the legwork and collect all the information then it goes to the OR who just does the 5 min job of making the decision

    As curly says as soon as the change happens contact MB and they will send you a new statement to fill in
