hi all i wonder if anyne may e able to help, we are a family of 2 adults, 3 kids aged 15, 13 and 10.
when we fill out our SOA what can our monthly allowances be for each catergory ? ( what will be acceptable ) and is it across the board what is allowed or at the discretion of the OR ?

Hello,

As I said to sti in another post;

The key thing is to use the Insolvency Service website (http://www.insolvency.gov.uk). The examiners at the OR offices use the guidelines contained on this website, so it is straight from the horses mouth.

Probably the best link I can give you is this one:

http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/freedomofinformation/technical/TechnicalManual/Ch25-36/Chapter31/part7/part2/part_2.htm

Then, from the resultant page you can click on 'Household Expenditure Spreadsheet

or to get it directly from this reply please open this link:

http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/DocumentLibrary/Policy/Excel/Household%20Expenditur.xls

Other information can be found at the links below.

http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/guidanceleaflets/ipoipa/ipoipa.htm

This one (below)takes about 20 seconds to load:

http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/pdfs/guidanceleafletspdf/ipoipa.pdf


Peruse this website and you should make sure that your income and expenditure fits in with the guideline. If anything, these figures may be slightly out of date and we know prices only go up so things like gas and electric should use up all the allowance if not more. For example, I bet you didn't know you can put down £20 a month for haircuts?!
Best wishes.

Hi Jo

The main advice here is to put what you spend per month.

I would go through the form and post on here what you have come up with so far and then we can adjust it for you.

There really is not any consistencies accross the board with OR's and what they allow but do put down what you think and like i sai dwe will help you.

Also if you look in my blog there is a link to what things you may be allowed and also the allowances that may be granted. Do remember though its the most up to date one around at the mo so adjustments must be made in line with current prices.
