    A full-time student with a small part-time job - no, I don't think the OR would expect you to change your SoA for that.

    If the child was working full -time and paying rent and food then yes.
  • I happy my daughter took opportunity to know how isn’t easy to make money , she can learn how to save and spend.
    but even is only ~8 hours /week, is over £200 per month so caught myself to worry again if these need to be taken into account.
    I’m sure I’m not ready to charge her for rent / food as education is priority so no way to start full time job at least few more years
