Income Change?

Hi All,

Advice please. :-)

I went bankrupt July last year with no IVA or restrictions order. I have an offer of temporary work which starts exactly two weeks before auto discharge. The chances are I won't see any money until after discharge though it is just possible the first payment will come through to my account before.

Do I need to declare this if it does? Or if it doesn't? Am I right that I have 21 days to declare a change in income? That would put me well past auto discharge. Obviously, for the sake of two weeks (particularly as it is only a month of work) I don't want to have to find myself with an IVA, but *and I want to make this clear* I do want to do the right thing having gone through all of the guilt we all feel about finding ourselves where we are.

Any thoughts welcome.
