If you need a car to get to work they may consider a request to change your IPA. If a car isn't essential, they may not. As philnicandevan says - no harm asking, the worst they can say is no. Good Luck

Hi,
Well if no car equals no work equals no IPA then there should be every chance that your IPA should be suspended to pay for essential repairs- that is the argument I would use anyway.

i would ring them and ask i was allowed to keep a bonus i recieved from work, most recievers will consider the reasons why you are asking and make a decision based on that, the fact you need a car to work should work in your favour especially if you can back it up with the fact that public transport not an option either due to work patterns, availability or cost!0
