Hi, I have a question relating to my (ex) partner's income. We were together as a couple when I started the IVA and so her income was included in the first I and E review. Unfortunately, we have agreed not to stay in the relationship (a mutual agreement). We are not in a position at the moment to move out as it would cost too much living on our own etc. So for the time being, we are still living in the same house. She has her own bank account and we just split bills. My question is, if she receives a pay rise, which she is likely to, does this need to be declared to my IP now that we are no longer a 'couple'? Thanks for your time.
Joe

I would run this by your IP, as they may want to redo I&E anyway given your change in circumstances
I think her income may still be taken into account, but only to ensure the joints bills are split fairly
