Just double checking that my SOA is ok

Just double checking that my SOA is ok, as I've started fillng my br forms in online. Unsecured debts are about £45k. Can I put down any expenses for my pets, or does that have to come from my surplus?? Cheers.

    Hi needshelp

    I will let someone else go through in more detail your SOA as I am not 100% clear.

    Regarding Pets - I think it really does depend on the OR - what I was advised to do is put down my insurance figure (I have 3 cats and one dog and fairly high insurance due to pets ages and various on going illnesses) the one I paid, and see how it went. It could get disallowed or maybe a smaller amount would be allowed and the rest to come from my surplus.

    Not sure about food for them - I just included that in with my groceries.

    Sorry not much help

    Food for pets to come from housekeeping. Will £40 cover the gas and electric in the winter?

    My boyfriend gets £9 for his cat- she isn't insured though- this was recommended by the CAB- I think it's to cover her injections etc.
