i agree about the ORs. One rule in one place should apply across the board
When you inform the OR about this, you could also let him know, what if anything you have this money earmarked for. If it is for something essential like car repairs to enable you to get to work etc, it has been know for people to be allowed to keep it, or a percentage of it, especialy when it is smaller amounts.

i will mention I need carpets in the flat. Perhaps the OR will feel sorry for me and let me keep some back for that. Don't have a car so can't say about that, unfortunatelyless2303 wrote:When you inform the OR about this, you could also let him know, what if anything you have this money earmarked for.
