Rent 1000 this is high, would be able to get a smaller property for less or is it the general price in your area? Or may check on this
water 43
gas 50
electric 50
C Tax 184
phone/internet 44 phone only, internet not allowed
tv licence 12
sky 21 Not allowed try upping phone to 60
contents insurance 16
life assurance 40 not sure if this is allowed may have to be taken out of surplus, if there are any profits linked to it, the OR will have them

Car fuel 160 this seems high, can you justify it
maintainance 15
road tax 14
motor insurance 30

Food/toiletries 400

child maintenance 369

childcare 270

prescriptions 14
dentist/optician 55 (both wear contact lenses)

I just included internet and sky under phone £60, i know it probably wont cover it all, but thats the max you can claim, If you can justify the fuel and there are no cheaper alternatives i.e buses,then you will be ok.
