Thanks everyone.
I have changed some of my outgoings but I am a bit confused as to what income is count. I receive carers allowance and child tax credits whilst my husband gets income support and DLA. Are all of these included? Am I right in saying that I don't include child benefit in my income?
Sorry for all the questions.

Hi Amanda
You must list all incomings but DLA and child benefit should not be counted in by the OR when working out any IPA.

Hi again,
Just to add, if your only source of household income is benefits, you shouldn't get an IPA anyway.
Good luck with it all!

Thanks everyone.
If DLA isn't included do I still list it as income? I have done. If it's not included then we only have a small surplus each month which is good.
Cheers,
Amanda |

Hi again Amanda,
Yeah, you still need to include it as income, but they shouldn't count it as income whencalculating an IPA.
