Likelihood of IPA?

Well I've done my final statement of affairs and it leaves me with a £217 surplus. Can I assume from this that I'll be paying that to the OR for 3 years?

    Is your car insurance fully comp? should be if you are going BR. Get breakdown cover as well. Is your home contents insurance with accidental damage, also a good idea if going BR. Do you pay proffesional/union fees? Do you wear suits for work? Dry cleaning £10.

    This isn't his full salary, just his 50% contribution to the household bills. I believe he's on about £1500 total but obviously he has his own debts/stuff to pay for.

    I do pay union fees of £11 which I've included on the forms. I don't wear suits though. In terms of insurance policies ie car, pet etc do I need to give copies to the OR? I'll have to dig them out if that's the case! And medical etc will he need a copy of my repeat prescriptions? I also wear glasses and I'm supposed to go for tests every year but don't go cos I've never got the spare cash, I've put a figure in there for opticians to try and budget for it after BR, is this acceptible or again will he want evidence that that's what I've been paying? If he does then I can't give it cos I've not been but want to start going again once my debts are sorted!

    So many questions sorry :(
