MS Credit Club income question

Options
Hi All, i am just trying to sign up to the MS Credit Club and i have a question regarding the personal annual income field.
Do i include Universal credit payed to me and my partner?
The info mentions 'e.g. Work, pensions, benefits' but unclear if this means universal credit
Thanks in advance.

    It would include any income you receive, but not your partner.

    However, it's not particularly important what figure you put in. You only need to get it right on applications.
  • we have a joint Universal credit claim so do i put half the UC payment on my income and half on hers?
    its paid to our joint bank account and all wages go into the same joint bank account aswell.

    Sounds a decent enough plan.
  • MSE makes money from referral links and things like that, if you put your income as whatever you get on UC then you'll get adverts for suitably matching financial products say for example, Vanquish credit card, if your income was 100k a year, it would be AmEx Platinum or whatever
