Our holiday was paid for by my family as a gift. They gave us the money and we paid it into our bank account and then booked it online paying with my debit card. This is because when you book online you have to show the card that you paid with at check in.We explained this to the OR and they said as...

Hi - word of warning We went BR last year and had a holiday booked for this Easter (This was booked before BR and we did not tell the OR about it as we did not see the need to)). Due to the IPA agreement we did not have sufficient funds to go on holiday (spending money etc)and so cancelled the fligh...

Hi I am confused with the answers given to this question. I was under the impression that whilst paying into an IPA agreement you were obliged to inform the OR of any change in your circumstances for the full 36 months. This includes pay increases, windfalls,inheritance,bonus etc etc. The fact that ...

I think that you will find that this page is only available to the 'OR' via their own intranet pages. I tried on many occasions to access the page with no luck. I suspect that the information on this page is designed to give the 'OR' a guide on average living expenses when they are working out your ...

I thought that may be the case however the breakdown of "other essential payments" is very vague. Thanks for your help

I have got my breakdown from the OR of I&E that they are allowing. They have added both child benefit and tax credits to my wages to work out my IPA. Is this right?(as the OR's own guidelines on the internet state that child benefit should not be included so that the child does not be deprived) Any ...

They also have revised certain other payments "in line with national expenditure" They have not explained how much they have disallowed for each of these payments so we don't kn...

money that has been drawn out of our account to pay for rent, living etc, does that get put in the cash in hand section or not?

Skippy, can you help with these questions? And sorry another question, when does your name go in the local paper, is it after BR in court or after your interview with the OR?
Thanks

Please can anyone help with the expenditure section.I earn about £800 a month and my husband earns about £1600 per month. We have always had a joint bank account that everything goes into and the bills are all paid from it.We don't have 'my bills' and 'his bills'.So how do I divide the rent,food,pet...

We have our appointment to go Br at the beginning of October. It has been difficult getting the money together to pay for it and I now have car tax, dog innoculations and my son's college fees all due now. I have not paid for council tax and water this month and wonder if they can be included in the...
