    The UC look like a single person plus a child, plus CB - so the child is yours? In that case a lot of your expenses lines look too small:
    Groceries etc. ......................... 220
    Clothing................................ 10
    Other child related expenses............ 0 

    Somewhere you need nappies and children's clothing and shoes showing

    The UC budgeting advance can be listed in your DRO so that deduction will stop, increasing your income a bit, but then its going to drop when you put in more realistic numbers. 

    Are you likely to go back to work during the DRO year? You need to talk to the DRO adviser about this. 
    And if I was to list the budgeting advance as a debt in the DRO, would this affect my UC at all?
