This is mine, based on exact rent. counil tax ect and good estimates ect, dont forget things like medicines and prescriptions for all in the house. We didnt include clothes ect, but im speaking to the CCCS in two weeks time and they only need a rought budget. They will prob add and remove from this but its about right i think.

I dont know what the OR will allow ive put down what I pay for now ready for the CCCS interview, I would imagine they would advise the same, I didnt know about the prepay scheme for prescriptions, I was paying for them when working, when i stopped working i was on Income support and got free ones, now im on benefits that are not elegible for free prescriptions, my partner and I just sat down and worked out how much a month we spend on things.
The telephone is phone and internet combined, wont the OR allow Internet access either??? cos its all bundled together??"Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I got a better one. How about I give you the finger, and you give me my phone call"
