Some of the things on there seem very high. Not sure the OR would be happy with £40 a month for haircuts. You would need to justify the £250 travel expenses. £120 for clothing seems very high too. Groceries the OR may ask you bring down the £550. Holidays is expensive too. Isn't it £10 per person?
Other folks on here may disagree.0 -
I'm happy to reduce in areas, as I sat these are guesstimate due to y gambling addiction I have no real sense of our bills.
will the or be ,likely to allow my wife to pay her debts?
Will the or allow me money for education expenses, such as dbs certificates, travel to placements, and books paper pencils etc?
Thanks0 -

Hi,
I can't add in medical etc because I'm Except from charges.
do you think it would be better to approach differently, ie from a view that I put in 1062 and my wifesaid contribution and benefit add to 1062?
