NT tax code and UC

Crazydennie

I am about to have my first pay with the new tax code. The new code means I will show an increased income which will reduce my UC payment. I only have a nt and council tax ipa.

Do I still have to report this drop in income drop when it will make no difference to the ipa I have?

You should speak to the OR if this reduces your income and ask them to review your IPA payments downwards. You can ask to retain monies that you are paying for an NT and CT IPA if you are worse off because UC has reduced.

Do they just review the income and not all the figures again? Can I ask them to send me details of my current budget as I do not have this?

They should just review the income if you tell them your outgoings are the same (of course, if they have increased, tell them this too).
