    I've made a few comments above. I know your saying you live with parents but is this soa just for you rather than a household one? If it is just you then you need to relook at the housekeeping amount, should be around £180 for a single person, if household then you really need some kind of contribution in your incomings to cover some of this!

    Also, do you havea car? You've included petrol but not car ins and maintence etc. Can't imagine that the OR will allow petrol costs if its not your car, maybe move it to other travel so its not related to a car!

    Hope that helps a bit, take care xx

    is the other person contributing? I presume its your dad, but he must contribute something to the household, even if its £50 a month.

    Motability car explains the petrol then!!

    I think it should be more like £10 dentist, £10 opticians.
