Is proof needed of budget? DRO
Options
Hi I'm not sure if this has been asked before but when applying for a DRO do they ask to send proof of your costs, i.e gas/electric bills, mot receipt, cigarette receipts etc or do they take it on face value if it's within their 'limits'. Just concerned I don't have 'proof' of certain expenses-like I never get a receipt for petrol or my parking permit etc if that makes sense.

Hi chesca05,
When you apply for a DRO you will be asked to provide bank statements, and this will help to verify spending. It is understood that some things may not show on your bank statement, and these expenses may be discussed in more detail with your intermediary if they are above the average spending.
