    yes you can. The OR does not say what you can and cannot have, they just do a budget and see how much you pay them, what you do with your own money that you get to keep is entirely at your own discretion

    Morning Alice, you can keep it but not claim for all. Why don't you put half down for iternet etc, and pay the other half out of your surplus x

    If you can show that it is essential for your work or for your childrens education, then you can put it down
