Income
Most types of income count in your income test. We use this and your assets test to assess if you can get a payment, and to calculate your rate of payment.
Asset types
Assets are property or items you or your partner own in full or part, or have an interest in. They can affect your payment.
Advance payment
You may get part of your income support payment or Family Tax Benefit (Part A) early. This is an advance payment. You pay it back later out of your payments from us.
