    I've looked at the regulations. It doesnt say that spending excessively is automatically considered as deprivation of capital. So how would you prove that if you spent a chunk of money on an expensive item, that it wasnt deprivation of capital?

    It depends on the item - if you bought an expensive piece of art, the decision makers aren't likely to think that was a necessary spend; buying a stairlift or replacing worn out carpets or furniture would be a different matter (as long as you don't go for extremely expensive stuff).
