Soa

My husband has got his EDREV form through and i just wanted to get some opinions on his SOA. We didn't have one approved when we went bankrupt as neither of us was working at the time and the OR said it wouldn't have even been worth looking at it at the time!

Thanks!

    i would say your groceries is very high, you could easily survive on 350 a month, that gives you 150 a month that can go into savings.

    Cakey...if the OP puts £350 down for food,the OR will snatch it for an IPA......this is for Early Discharge REVew. If the OP wants to cut back later that is up to then but £500 is not excessive for 2 adults ad 2 kids per month;).Dx

    Have made a couple of comments on your SOA, If anything I would increase your groceries to £600, that still only equates to £4.93 per day for each of you.
