Can anyone advise if your 'contingency' allowance is all you are allowed to have as 'spare income' each month after outgoings?
Yes - but you need to make sure you have captured every expense you have on your income and expenditure calculation.
You may find you can save a little from some allowances every month and if you are lucky to be offered overtime, bonuses or receive pay increases you may be able to retain 50% of this.
