Filling in the forms - advice please

Hi there,

Can someone talk me through what the OR accepts in the monthly outgoings? I heard someone talking on the radio about haircuts being included etc. Is there anything else like that that I can include and what is seen as reasonable for clothes for us and our babies?

Any advice gratefully received

Thanks
