Starting on the road to Bankruptcy

Could you knowledgeable people please have a look over my SOA please?
A little background: I work full time but my partner is on unpaid maternity leave whilst she finishes her studies (end of May-ish). We have a 10 month-old baby. All child related benefits are paid solely to her but she also has her own bills (mobile, catalogue account, etc) to pay. These are not included in here as it will just be me applying for BR. I think the figures are pretty accurate but if I was good with figures I may not be in this mess in the first place
My monthly income is actually around £1315 but the excess in this is paid as taxed expenses to me as I am covering a temporary position which will probably be finished by the time BR comes around.

i added a couple of things but looks good to me
edit - even though you are the only one going br, they will still want to know what your partners contribution is to the household expenses0 -
Hi and welcome! How much is the extra you get that you will soon be losing?Could you knowledgeable people please have a look over my SOA please?

You need to put down the benefits she receives but only a proportion of her maternity benefits that she uses for her own expenses.
My monthly income is actually around £1315 but the excess in this is paid as taxed expenses to me as I am covering a temporary position which will probably be finished by the time BR comes around.

My partner receives no income whatsoever. She gets the child benefit & child tax credits. These are used to pay her bills (:eek:) which aren't included on this SOA. She will be returning to work in May/June but will be self-employed and may take some time to bring a reasonable regular income in.
The extra £ that I currently receive is about £90-95 per month and is likely to be lost in the next 2 months.
Also, are the inevitable rises in outgoings (rent, utilities, Council tax) taken into account by the OR?
I really need to get my head out of the sand & get cracking on this as CapQuest hassling me.

Any advice anyone can give me on this? Looking to start doing the forms online tomorrow.

If you didn't include child benefit and child tax credit, what are the benefits you listed above. You need to add those to the SOA and also add your wife's expenses however don't add any of her 'debts' just expenses. Then we'll see what it looks like and amend where necessary.Thanks,

The child benefit & CTC is included on my amended SOA that you quoted but her personal bills aren't, so with all the money coming into the household we have £132 left which she has to pay her bills out of. She also has a car (value less than £500) which is declared off the road as she is yet to take her test. She will need this when she starts her new job as public transport won't be feasible.0
