hi all goin br on mon 16th march could someone check my i+e any help appreciated . 2 adults 2 children 1 baby rent £550 housekeeping £600 inc baby milk/nappies water £60 gas £60 council tax £80 elec £50 car ins £23 house ins £8 life ins £13 phone £50 tv lic £12 car tax £12 petrol £80 perscriptions £10 hair £30 school activities (swimming lessons) £28 domestic break £60 school lunches £40 clothing £180 dentist £12 meals at work £50
I think the housekeeping is a little high especially as you are also claiming £50 pm for meals at work, it should probably be nearer £450-£500. Also clothing should be nearer the £50-£80 mark.
However, unless you ask you won't get, so it may be worth asking for the allowance anyway.
£50 - £80 pm for clothes for 2 adults and three children....are you kidding? also im sure the guidelines for housekeeping for 5 is around £550pm, add to this that one of them is a baby! is there anything else i should be adding?
I think it depends on whether you get a strict OR or not, we are 2 adults and 3 teenagers, I put down £100 per month clothing and the OR cut it to £80. Food/housekeeping was £545, he commented it was high but did not cut it. Not allowed a holiday/break.
