Thanks Chris - I am wondering whether to post on some more info about my expenditure due to what my Assessor said was fair and reasonable, and in most cases, *BELOW* what they would agree to?Hi there and this would be MUCH than helpful, not just for me but for many, many others as well I'm sure.Providing the obvious in not identifying the individual isn't compromised, why is this information simply not available anywhere?Is it illegal? Does the site simply ban it? Are they pressured by the IS not to allow it? Any other reason/s?I am fully aware that according to IS guidelines if the individual expenditure limits are roughly matched by the expenditure calculator then suspicions should be raised. Common sense used maybe?If it is allowed and you pick this up and you are of a mind to post it, please do.I am just totally bemused as to why outside of the IS it appears to shrouded in such total secrecy.All the best everybody.0

The people that use these figures most are debt advisers and I have been told that they arent allowed to give the allowable numbers. That seems mad but if its right it may explain why they are not freely available.Sizzers said:Providing the obvious in not identifying the individual isn't compromised, why is this information simply not available anywhere?Is it illegal?

If the guidelines are published everyone would use that as an allowance. They are generous enough for a reasonable standard of living0
