IPA proposal

We have just received a response from the OR following our request for a breakdown of the IPA proposal.
The letter does not give us the breakdown but only says that the amount we had put down for clothing, telephone and petrol was above the national figures of whats normally allowed. They would like documentary evidence of why our figures are above these national figures.
The questions we need answering are:
1. Why haven't we received a proper breakdown having asked for this?
2. Where are these national statistics found?
3. What documentary evidence do they need? They have had bank statements already.
4. Is it true there's a higher fuel allowance for people living in rural areas who have to travel to places of work?

Comments from anyone would be greatly appreciated, especially the "debt doctor".
