    Hi people, received a email from or yesterday saying that my grocery,cleaning and toiletries is unreasonable at £650 for a family of 4. What the or doesn't know is that our children are aged 18 and 16. And eat us out of house and home. We feel this is the real figure,is it to much to claim? Or shall I pursue it?

    Looking at the link DC provided it suggests that a child over 16 is considered an adult for SOA figures.

    Why not point out to the OR the age of your children because you should be looking at a budget for 4 adults not 2 adults and 2 children.
