I'm just over a year into my sequestration and I'm thinking of moving abroad to work in late August for a year with the possibility of extending to two years. This would mean giving up my permanent job at home as my current employer isn't granting career breaks at the moment. I'm just wondering if this is allowed while in sequestration and how it would affect my payments etc. while abroad and when I come back while looking for a new job?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum Jac.
You can move overseas.
Your payment will continue to be based upon affordability. As such, if your finances improve you'll pay more and if they deteriorate you'll pay less. This applies whether you're working in Scotland or elsewhere.

Hi Jac. There is certainly nothing in bankruptcy law to say that you are not allowed to work abroad - as Trust Deed Adviser says, you would still need to account for your earnings and pay in as much as you can afford though.
It is possible that some countries may have restrictions on who they will give a visa to, so you would need to check that out yourself, though I am not aware of anywhere in particular that may be problematic in this regard.
