OR's "allowable" living expenses

script

I know this is a bit difficult – because it will vary from different OR’s around the country.

But can anyone list all the living expenses that OR’s generally allow.

For example -

Food and Housekeeping per adult.

Food and Housekeeping per child.

Plus all the other living costs.

It would be so helpful if someone could post an SOA with all the “allowable” expenses.

I’m sure so many people would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks so much for your help.

Food and Housekeeping per adult.£180-£200

Food and Housekeeping per child.£90 but would think this depends on age of said child

Plus all the other living costs.gas,electric £60

You put whatever you spend really. Only if you have put a very very unrealistic amount do we comment. Your best bet would be to just post your I&E sheet on here for comments. Thats the norm for here;).Dx
