Please note that I was in UK for all the time for the periof claimed except for two 15 days holidays to India. The case worker did not give uplift ratio for India income though I had claimed. I also know of others who did not get uplift ratio as they were in UK all the time.
I was also lucky to get UK self employed points as the Case Workers Manual requires letter from accountant as well.
