i think so they need to include all income that you get to include your total payment
Reply:I think you have to include your tax credit final assessment paperwork but I dont think maintenance is taken into account. Your payment from your work matters if you have a job. Its a nightmare, ive just done my sons and got it back. We had to include a form from his bank with their stamp on it even though we had completed all his details in so be prepared! He will get back pay though so it should be A-OK!
