DRO onto DMP HELP

Brie

I'd say go through your statement of accounts using current figures and then what you believe your take home pay will be with the promotion. If you seem to have too much money consider what you will be spending with petrol going up, gas, electric going up, kids expecting slightly nicer presents if they know you're getting a raise.

As long as your salary hasn't quadrupled and you are not trying to justify buying a Maserati you should be fine.

No, no benefits, for fuel I'm using over 100 a month even though the dro budget was 100 so I want Atleast 150 for this food I'm on 291 but spending much less as to cover fuel and other costs, I want Atleast 350 for this and energy I'm on fixed and pay same monthly fee but have no buffer for now it's colder so trying to not use any heating or anything currently pay 66 but I want to pay 85 Atleast to have a winter buffer, just not sure if I'd be able to include gym membership or Nowtv for the kids as they weren't on the dro but I've had them for a few months now

When updating them e.g the promotion higher wage etc, can I update my DRO budget and add things I've already been paying for but have sacrificed other things for? For example my DRO food budget is £291 per month but I've been spending less than this so I could have gym membership and Nowtv so my kids can't watch stuff they want when they come round can this be added on top of the 291 food?

Don't forget the gas and electric prices rise considerably in January. Surely that extra £100 will be needed for that.

I mean I'm not suggesting you defraud anyone but losing a dro for the sake of a few months for it to be over and a small raise in wages is a bit pointless.
