Hi,

Applied for my parents in July 2010, application was delayed and is now being processed. I have a question about LICO If I understand it correctly LICO Plus 30% wouldn't apply to my application because it was submitted in 2010? if yes what would be the LICO amount i have to main for 2015 for 8 people?

Thanks in advance

Alan

You follow the old rules (so no 30% extra required).

That's the income you needed in your 2010 tax year. Every year the LICO increases a little bit, so you need to maintain at the latest levels.

Also if your family size increases (so if you have another kid or a new dependent is added to application) that will also increase the more recent LICO you need to meet.
