IPA & AD - So so close and yet so far???

In my own case, my OR saw money in an account and thought they could take it, even though I'd explained on my BR forms that the money wasn't mine but social services money paid to me for a specific use.

So that's why I usually recommend only putting down contribution towards household expenditure, it seems a lot of ORs will accept that and not require full income details.

But in your case you are single and on benefits so you don't have any worries or experience of an IPA.

When we went br, I just put my income and my personal outgoing on mine and my wife put her income and all outgoings on hers. The Or then sorted it out, by doing that he could see the true income and outgoings.

My point was that I do have experience of an OR thinking money was available to them when it wasn't. Not so different when they're looking at a big surplus on an SOA and get so excited they forget some of that surplus belongs to the non-BR partner.
