I've just received my application for deferment for my Student loan, for the years 97,98,99 and this year I swear the average wage is lower than previous, or its not moved at all. It says if you earn more than £2227.25 gross per month.
Also other issues I have with it is that I do part time self employment and the work is never guaranteed. I need to declare it but should I add a note, would it be considered.
Also at my employment, I took a salary sacrifice for a pension scheme so my yearly wage is a lot low than the above figure. On my payslip that they will see shows my basic pay as £2210. Then pension Salary sacrifice as -£203.93 then to add further complication Childcare Vouchers of -£243.00 all of this is in the before Tax, so what figure should be my gross income.

I suggest you make yourself a strong flask of coffee, forget any plans you may have had for today & read this thread.

Be prepared for them to majorly mess up your calculation as they did mine. Adding my childcare vouchers to my pay making my pay 2400 more than I actually earn.ONE HOUSE , DS+ DD Missymoo Living a day at a time and getting through this mess you have created.One day life will have no choice but to be nice to me :rotfl:0
