    Who is going BR? Is this just your own personal SOA? (there is no such thing as a joint one, if a couple go BR they both have individual ones) If the other person in your household is a partner their contribution to the household expenses should be included.

    you will need to put down his contribution towards the household expenses too, however small. I think £600 a year for clothing is high, otherwise any adjustments the OR will make elsewhere shouldn't be much. All the best with it.
