Review food, toiletries and cleaning
We are having our 1st annual review and at the moment we have £100. a week for food, toiletries and cleaning for a family of 5, this is not enough but as our mortgage went down we have had a little extra. I wondered what everyone thinks, do we need to pull our horns in even tighter or could we ask for more? Thanks

HI, Just tell them how much you do spend each month, We are allowed the same as you and we are only a family of 3. I find if you are honest with your IP and tell them of any problems they are very helpful. Well ours is, I hope yours is too.0

CCCS Guidlines would allow a MAXIMUM £550 for a couple with three dependents (£313 a couple and £79 a dependent)... bear in mind that that is a MAXIMUM (recommendation) though and that they are just guidelines.Would you ask the wolves to look after the sheep?
