URGENT - think there might have been a big c**k up

As I mentione din an earlier post, our BR forms were filled in by the charity we've been working with.

Section 7 - outgoings - has been filled in with the the overall household outgoings, not the individual outgoings.

For example, on my form, it says rent:900. On OH's form, it also says 900. Obviously, we don't pay 1800 in rent, we pay 900..... It the same for all of the outgoings.

Am I panicking over nothing here?!!!! Or should it be that on my form it lists my contribution to the rent and on OH's form, his contribution to the rent etc etc.

HELP!!! I'm freaking out big time. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Is there not a part on the forms that asks what other members of the household contribute? Or have I imagined that? Has that part been filed in to show what each of you contribute on the others form if that makes sense?

    Don't panic because even if it is wrong there's time for it to be rectified yet!

  • Yes. The previous 2 pages are entitled "Employment and Present Income."

    It lists
    My salary
    the amount of tax I pay
    Amount of NI
    How much do other members contribute to household income
    Total household income

    Those details are on both forms.
  • Thanks so much. Can't believe how stressed I'm getting over all of this now.

    Can't wait for Friday and for it all to be over.
  • if we have only OH's income, WFTC,etc, and im on NIL benefits fron dss (signing unemployed but no credits) can they snatch OH's income?

    its only me going BR

    :j :j


  • thanks so much.

    Been into town tonight to find out where we have to go. Dummy run and all that.

    Just finalising the forms and worrying about what we should wear! SHould we go smart? Or doesn't it really matter?
  • Good luck Cate.
    Don't worry about what you wear (though you might want to leave the Armarni suit at home along with the chanel handbag etc)
    I was waiting around for quite a while and it was chilly in there so would recommend you dress to suit the weather.....i also spent a lot of time outdoors puffing on fags!!!
    Let us know how you get on.
    Take care x
    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(
  • Go in whatever you feel comfortable in - I'd leave the slogan stuff at home though (an "Up the monarchy" or "Today's judge is yesterday's Lily Savage" T-shirt might not go down too well :D). I took as my guide what I'd wear to work, as I knew I could be in it for hours. Make sure you're wearing comfy footwear. Good luck. :)
  • Well I wear jeans and trainers to work! Might make a bit more of an effort and put on some proper but comfy shoes.

    Only half an hour til we leave. :eek:
