IPOQ Form

grangers72

I am currently filling in my IPOQ form and just wanted your feedback. I am surprised how much goes out, this is what our monthly spend is. I don't want to be misleading on the form and it is my true spend, just wandering if the figures will look OK from the ORs point of view. I have had my OR interview a few months ago and they agreed I required my car for work which was a relief.

Also any advice on how I can cut down on some of the spends would be appreciated.

I can't see anything wrong with that at all but what about your petrol? Is that covered by your travel?

Home contents insurance?
Dry cleaning for those work clothes?

You don't really want to reduce the amounts as you need a realistic account of what you spend. But just make sure you haven't forgotten anything.
