hiya
we applied for incapacity and income support a couple of weeks ago, but because I am self employed the income support claim has gone to a desicion maker.
just had her on the phone and they need loads of info from me which I can provide,
thing is, I put down I work 16 hours a week, which I do, but what happens if some weeks I had to work more but for same money (IYKWIM?)
I have to give her a diary of the hours I did etc etc, what happens if one week I did less than 16? I am pregnant and sometimes take a few days off cause I aint feeling well etc.
just a bit confused, they also need to see a copy of my tax return from last year.
how does all this affect gettig income support? except it taking a lot longer to process lol.

I guess what I was trying to say was - would they accept an average.
ie some weeks I worked 24 hours but others were only 10 hours so kinda averages at 16 hours a week over that month.
would they be ok with that?:jDebt free from 2010:j(except for mortgage lol)0
