Hi,

I have recently had to change the person who is supporting my application from my mum to my Dad and it is becoming very confusing.

My Dad is now a pensioner and income has changed by around £25-£30/week (upwards from 2009/10 which SF want). I have looked everywhere with my Dad (who keep ALL his letters) and can't find ANYTHING, so having a problem with answering questions and so on.

The questions being:

Gross Income from 6 April 2009-5 April 2010
Total Income from Taxable benefits and Occ Pensions and Private Pensions

Total non lump sum amount recieved from a state retirement pension
Total lump sum from state retirement pension

Total income from taxable benefits in kind

We can now answer any of these, as we can't find supporting evidence and also my Dad has been benefits for these years and none of those was taxed.

He has given me his p60 from the WRONG year, not sure what I can do with that. My Dad has also said that he has a rough idea of what he got in that year, but shall I put it down or not?

Cheers in advance guys.

He must provide a P60 or a self assessed tax return if self employed or a statement of earnings (available from his tax office) for 2009-10. Nothing else will be accepted.

Don't confuse not paying tax on benefits as benefits not being taxable. The student finance noted list the benefits that are taxable and need declaring even if no tax was paid. An example is JSA. Whilst you would not pay tax on JSA in a year with no other income it is a taxable benefit and counts towards a tax threshold.
