change in income

staciiee

Im two months into a DRO. Hubby working before I took DROnow hubby is starting work on Monday which means receive Working Tax Credit which will go into my bank along with the child tax credits. At the moment I have -£40 a month left over. I will be paying rent and tax with the working tax credits which will make me -£76 each month (wtc doesn't cover full rent).

Anyway who do I have to inform about this change, How easy is it to make a change will I need to go through full outgoings again or will I just need to say about the one payment coming in and then the one payment out?

Thanks in advance

The working tax credit will be in his name won't it?

I can't see your income will change but you will get less help towards your joint liabilities (rent and council tax). It is important that the council know the new amounts if you are getting housing benefit and council tax support.

As for the DRO, you could (maybe should) run this past the DRO unit, but I can't see them being very interested.
