I filled in the renewal application the other day and noticed the form was a lot bigger this year, today I read in the paper that they're narrowing the criteria by counting things they didn't before as income. I receive rent allowance and BTEA and although I'm going into 4th year and my income has not changed I'm worried that they will say I'm over the income threshold.
