Hope someone can help with this question.
I want to start claiming CA from 1st July, and I fulfil all the criteria for doing so.
Only problem is - my last payslip (for month of June, as I'm paid a month in arrears) is for over the £411 allowance (as I had different hours then), and you have to declare this wage on the application form.
From the 1st July, I have been working reduced hours so my wage will come under £411.
The question is, shall I apply now and try to explain why my wages appear more than the allowance and risk them turning me down and having to appeal? Or shall I apply at the end of August when I have received my July payslip?
Does anyone have any experience of how they are about problems like this??
Well done if you read this far !!
Thanks for your help.
