    Where trustees have reasonably assessed a bankrupt's living expenses and the bankrupt fails to produce supporting documentary evidence that the allowance is inadequate, the court will not disturb the trustees' assessment except to the limited extent warranted by a demonstrated change in circumstances; an increase may be granted only to the extent that it does not unjustly prejudice creditors.
