  • You can phone up and put in a change of circumstances and ask for your award to be calculated on current income if less than last yr.. you can also deduct £100 per week from your wifes SMP per week she will recieve it this tax yr when giving your estimate of earnings for this tax yr.. it is better to over estimate your income than to under estimate to avoid an overpayment.
