When preparing expenditure figures for an annual review is it okay to increase the figures by an inflation linked amount? Some areas such as car insurance, mortgage, council tax etc are straight forward to work out, but other variable payments aren't. The reason I ask is that some areas of my budget were determined on the cccs allowable expenditure budget, which seems to be fixed at set figures irrespective of price increases. For example food/ housekeeping £320, real prices increase their budget doesn't seem to.
