In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
Some of your earnings are not taken into account when working out income support. This is normally £5 if you are single or £10 if you have a partner. You will have £20 of your earnings disregarded if you qualify for the disability premium, the carer premium or are a lone parent.
The HB will depend on your personal circumstances.
You must notify both the DWP and your Local Authority.
