Should I type or write our the forms

It says you can type the forms out, how many people do this?

Secondly my wife has a car, can I include in my outgoing the running cost for that. i.e petrol, mot, tax etc.....or is that down to her on her £400 per month wage?

Thanks
Stubie

    Hi stubie - it really does not matter if you write or type the forms, providing your handwriting is reasonably legible. I don't think many people would even know what a typewriter looks like, leave alone how to use one.
    Obviously it makes sense, if you are filling in your forms on-line - in fact you would be hard put to fill them in by hand.
    If you have the use of your wife's car, then, by all means, include your contribution towards the running costs, but I would be a bit careful not to include things like tax, MOT tests or Insurance as the OR MAY consider this to indicate that you have some 'ownership' in the car.

    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
