    Glad to be of service :D

    Obviously every OR is different and have their own little foibles and we can only advise on what we have experianced ourselves and have seen on this board so obviously nothing is certain but hopefully we have optimised your SOA to it's fullest and if anything is cut it still leaves you with a decent incoming to live on.

    Don't forget when the OR says what your IPA is ask him to send you his new SOA and pop it up here.

    True but be careful .. when I submitted my original SoA back in March the OR went through all my car expenses and then proceeded to calculate how much it'd cost (time and money) to scrap the car and use public transport .. luckily it came back not viable as it would increase my journey time each way by about an hour/hour and a half.

    Not saying don't do it, just don't overdo it :)

    That just goes to show how different peoples experiances are with different OR's though and that there is no constistency and why it is good to have everyones experiances so we have some idea how it can go either way.
