After stressing about my IPOQ for the last few days I decided to post my worries on the forum - I was worried that the OR would decide they wanted to take my pay rise, not allow my increases in expenditure or disallow something that I was allowed in the original IPA.  Ray A and Queenie both told me to contact the OR and explain the increases to them, so I took a deep breath and went for it!

I didn’t speak to my usual case worker, but to another very nice lady who informed that I would be getting a letter (no doubt arriving on Saturday!)  confirming that my IPA would stay the same at £186.  I was so relieved as I now feel that I can plan ahead a bit more as I know what I will take home and what I will pay out for the forseeable future.

I know a lot of people on the forum have had problems with their OR’s recently, but I have found that the staff at my OR’s office have been sympathetic and helpful so credit where it’s due.
