thanks Amber, I have got 2 kids and my annual salary is £ 21500 yearly
according to A-B= c my income should be £ 266.83 weekly
my yearly salary is 21500/52 = 413.46
cash saving 10000/104 = 96.15
total weekly income + weekly cash saving = £ 509.61
my weekly rent is £ 110
my council tax weekly £ 28
total rent+ council tax = 138
A £ 509.61
B £ 138
C = 371 which is greater than £ 266
looks I am alright

Can someone please advise on the following calculations of the adequate maintenance please, As I am preparing FLR M application of my wife, while my SET LR application is being processed

A. total net income (Mine)
B. housing cost (mortgage + council tax)
C. total net income - housing cost
D. total income if family were on income support (income support for couple 112.55 + income support for each child 65.62 + family premiums 17.40)
E. comparison of net income after housing cost With total income if family were on income support

If C is greater than D then that means I have adequate maintenance and application is good to go. please advise


I also need advise on the followings please
Most people says show 3 months earnings (3 months payslips) but If I show 3 months then I don't fulfil according to the above, but If I show 4 months payslips then I am fine, Shall I show 3 months or 4 months,

Also My wife is self employed, Do I HAVE to show her earnings in the adequate maintenance or its optional, I simply don't wanna go for hassle because you know I have pay some to accountant for paperwork, also there are lots of paper work involved. Please advise, Shall I say in the form she is working but I am solely responsible for the adequate maintenance or some better statements please.

Many thanks for reading and replying.

It can be based on last month's wages, supplying 4 should be fine.

It said E.S.A, CHILD TAX CREDITS, CHILD BENEFIT, HOUSING BENEFIT CANNOT BE USED. I have asked for an immediate review by the ECM but not heard anything back from them
