    The thing that jumps out immediately is the petrol allowed is for his needs only, so for instance the amount to take you to the hospital would not be counted, as others have said forget about the allowances, he should put down what he himself needs, whether that be more, less or the same as the guideline

    His petrol is around £88 per week
    Would that be £88 per MONTH ?

    EDIT; you have clarified with your SOA.

    If the OR has approved these costs as you say, IMHO I think the OR has been very lenient.

    Most OR'S do not allow mobile phones,they only allow £20 for prescriptions, £10 for haircuts as examples.

    I am sorry your father cannot afford flowers etc, but how was he managing before the bankruptcy?

    £250 is a lot to live on monthly can't he cut back and use some of this excess to help pay for some of the extras in his life.
