That is something you need to sort out with DWP and other agencies.
Perhaps give CAB a ring so they can assist you.

if you have a change of circumstances during the bankruptcy it will be reassessed |

Child benefit is no longer discounted, but the more important point for the poster is that if all the income is from benefits then no Surplus IPA will be sought |

Child and working tax credit are counted but child benefit is disregarded

It depends on the benefits, things such as Incapacity Benefits, Disability Living Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance are counted whereas Jobseekers allowance isnt.
