You should include all forms of income in your SOA and list them individually. The OR will decide which are used.

Oh dear, I didn't as I read child benefit didn't get taken into account. Will the OR be funny about this, I haven't had my interview yet.

HI there

I didn't have to include CB in mine. I had to do another I&E form as I changed jobs and I still didn't have to include CB. So don't worry poodle.

Child benefit should be included in the SOA as it is an income however it cannot be counted towards paying an IPA.

I'd include it then but when i did it last year they took it straight off saying that it could be used towards my daughter's dance/scouts etc as these could not be included on the outgoings. When i re-did my I&E i didn't put the CB or kids activities on. I did attach a letter stating them and I never got picked up for it.

You DO have to include any child maintenance if you are in receipt of it though.

Rule of thumb, if you're not sure stick it all on it'll get sorted at your interview anyway.
