Earnings - Payslips w/ Salary & Expenses

Hi,

I've a couple of questions that are starting to give me concern. If anyone can help with advice, I'd be grateful. I've searched the forums but not found these situations:

Firstly, my Payslips include both Salary and Expenses reimbursed, which is obviously paid as one amount. What do I claim for under earnings? As for the amounts to match, I'd have to use the combined amount (which of course also helps get the total higher).

Second problem is, my Dec 2011 Salary was overpaid by £1.40 and my January 2012 was underpaid by £1.20. This was my fault as I must have keyed in the amounts wrong (Running Ltd company as per info at the bottom). Now would I be best to either A) use these Salary amounts but just explain the issue or B) exclude these 2 payments for the hassle they would create and rely on the rest of the earnings for points? or even C) exclude all Salary altogether and rely on only Dividends which still get me enough points (just) in the end


Misc Info about my situation:
- Applying for ILR PEO Croydon 28/12/12
- Currently on Tier 1 (General) expiring 08/01/13
- Previously on HSMP, first entry 02/01/08
- Using Nov 2011 -> Oct 2012 for earnings (skipped Nov as pay only just went in a few days ago and don't have the bank statement)
- Have been Director of Limited Company since ~ May 2011 and all income has been minimum wage monthly salary + occasional dividends

I'm not sure if you could use reimbursement (Other may confirm). Obviously it would be transferred as one amount but your pay slip must should clarify that.

Second problem is, my Dec 2011 Salary was overpaid by £1.40 and my January 2012 was underpaid by £1.20. T
Does your payslip cordite with the amount deposited in your account? If yes then you're fine.

Take a look at this. Not sure if this applies here, or adds to clarity in situation:
