    Over the past month they will have been using your estimate of 16780 - so when you give them a figure of 19800 it will create an overpayment - don't worry though it'll be fairly nominal because its only for the one month.

    When you give them details of your new job - tell them what you expect your 2007-2008 will be, and if its lower than 19800 (which you say it is) then that will be the income they then use.
