IPA Expenditure Guide

Hi
I've been hunting around the internet and found this link to a spreadsheet hosted on the government website.

It gives figures on what will be acceptable for certain categories of expenditure. It may very useful to many of you.

Remember though it's a GUIDE (and its not updated very often) only not to be copied word for word...no 2 offices are the same though what one OR lets through isnt always a guarantee another will sadly..

    And anyone quoting the exact figures gets their SOA looked at closely (I also used to ask them for receipts to back things up in these cases)

    To be fare my examiner was really good, knocked me back on hairdressing, but put in onto clothing, just be honest.
