Another question please...statement of income/expenditure

Quick question please: I have read advice on here which says your income/expenditure should be as it is when you apply for bankruptcy.

I have been awarded a pay rise at work, but due to administrative errors I will not actually see the benefit of the payrise until my April pay day (30th April).

It is unlikely I will be able to find the £700 to go bankrupt before then, as I am currently operating at a shortfall of £150 per month due to an enforced house move - my dad gave me the bankruptcy fee, but that is being swallowed up in day to day expenses :(

However IF my dad says he will give me more money, and I go bankrupt in March, which salary should I use? old one or new one? I have nothing in writing to confirm the new salary yet. Thanks
