Hi there and welcome the forum.
Your girlfriends income will only be taken into account in so much as that she pays her fair share towards bills. Pro rata to income, so if you earn the same income each you would pay 50/50 to the bills, if you earn more you would pay that percentage more. I would have a chat with your IP and get their advice. You would need to fill a new I and E.
Wait for other answers as I am not a technical expert.
All the best.
Keep posting and let us know how things go.

When you are living together as a couple the principle of pooling your income usually comes into play - ie the combined income pays the combined bills. You will therefore pay the combined bills in accordance with your percentage share of the income, so this may affect your disposable income either upwards or downwards.
