Heres the story,
I'm 5 months pregnant - due to start my maternity leave in August. After 6 weeks that will leave me on the basic pay of around £400 a month. £200 of this HAS to go on my debts, leaving me with £200 for food.
(We live with his father - I pay for all food, pet food and toiletries etc, OH pays £175 in "rent")
My OH is on an IVA coming out with around £200 a month AFTER everything gets taken off that should do - including the rent.
I know I need to ring CAB and talk through with them really, but I am just so tired - I'm up at 3am for work and not back in the house til 2pm most days.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is - how will the view what my OH's income is in terms of benefits? Before or after the IVA payments?
I'm tired - will properly hang a round a little or check back in later.
TIA

AFAIK your partner's income will be considered before any debts have been deducted.
Is it possible for you both to contact your creditors and arrange to make reduced payments for a while?
Take care ... and get some sleep! xGone ... or have I?0 -
I thought this might be the case.
Thanks0
