I'm sure there was a guideline up here recently, something along the lines of £45 per week for one adult, £35 for the second and £25 for a child (that may not be exactly right, I can't find it just now). Would give a figure of £411 in your case, though quite how anyone could come to the conclusion that a teenager eats less than a grown-up is a mystery to me.

We were allowed £500 for 2 adults and 2 children, and the OR queried if that was enough!

I noticed that you did not declare any cars owned, and yet are claiming £245 in outgoings. Obviously you have got a car and more than likely to have it repossessed . You will then have to contact the OR because your circumstances will have changed. You say you are going to use a runaround. Have you got this already or are you going to purchase at a later date.
Because if you are going to purchase it at a later date, you will not have much cash to do it, judging by your SOA. Also you may have to pay your insurance in a lump sum , because of the £500 credit limit. A lot of insurance companies do not like br's and you might fail credit check if you do not pay a lump sum.
