Iva i&e

in IVA & DRO
Hello

Was wondering what people in an IVA have been allowed under "housekeeping" on their I&E's.

When i had my phone assessment with Payplan, they said a family of 5 could have £580 per month for housekeeping. Is this similar to others?

To be honest- i actually spend £450ish but i'm not gonna turn my nose up at an extra £130 on my budget!

What have others got on their I&E's?

Cheers

    Guidelines - which are only guidelines obviously - would allow £550 for a family of five (a maximum of £313 for a couple, plus £79 per child/dependant)

    The minimum you could expect for that would be about £347 - quite a range really!
    Would you ask the wolves to look after the sheep?
