Totally agree Graham.
The government has opted for gross income as that is the key determinant for most benefits and, allegedly, one of the drivers of these proposals is to eliminate the benefits factor.

Its easier to measure / assess gross income than disposable income.................so I guess they take the easier route.......

I have had 3 mortgages over the course of time and I seem to recall they were all looked at with my gross income in mind. But I took my final mortgage out a good number of years ago, so maybe things have changed.....
