oh really thanks, I thought it was unfair to include the DLA so that makes sense

DLA is your child’s money not your, although it will be paid to you. You can do what you want with it, savings account (in their name) or spend it on the things they need.

Looking at page 13, it appears that if you remove the DLA from the income, you could to be in a negative situation?
Also is rent precisely £1000? Not £1002, say?

yes rent is exactly £1000
What do I do about the negative. Should I reduce the uniforms or Christmas? Or should I put the school expenses like dinners and travel as a yearly amount as school is 9 months
