    Just show them the payslip, they can then calculate your entitlement correctly.

    Just be truthful. You've overestimated for at least 6 months so one month of £400 extra isn't going to impact the amount you've overestimated.

    Lying is only going to cause problems, as it has already.
    Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest.

  • Yes I concur with all that others have said - show them the payslip. they will then go back and correctly re calculate your HB and possibly even CTB?
