    From your soa you appear to be trying to live on £100 per month for food so that you can offer creditors something.

    That's not enough. Treat £35 per week as a minimum = £150 per month

    There was a poster on here recently who successfully got write offs due to ill health I’m sure. 
    That's good to know. I suppose it depends on the illness and whether it's likely to get better

    The deed is done. I have sent a letter and my budget to PRA and now just have to wait and see what happens. 
    My job situation has also become slightly less stable . I am in the process of retiring and hoping to return to my current role on less hours but I found out yesterday that this might not be possible. I will find out in about 20 days time
