The normal guide line is £180-£190 per adult per month so you are well withinn that. Bear in mind that if on benefits no IPA will be sort anyway.Your SOA can be adjusted to fit in with your circumtances,if any changes occur in the future;).DxFree impartial debt advice available from: National Debtline - Tel: 0808 808 4000 | The Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) - Tel: 0800 138 1111 | Find your local Citizens Advice Bureau
