Each case is different as is each OR and the way they work out what allowances you will be allowed.
The main thing is to put what you actually spend now.
I have placed a link here that is also in my blog, this will give you a rough idea of allowances but its a bit out of date and i cant find a newer one to go by so use for ref only.
Once you have clicked thi link, click on the Household Expenditure Sheet and open/save the document.
Also you can once you have written down your I&E write it on here and we will help go through it for you. Dont forget if you do add it in on the site to put your Income down for us also and then we can go through it.
Take care

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:
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 If anything, these figures may be slightly out of date and we know prices only go up so things like gas and electric should use up all the allowance if not more.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.
