I think the receipts/records are to make sure the money is spent correctly on the person getting the benefits and not stolen or misused by the representative.

Thank you both for the replies.
I know what it is and why it is there, we just aren't sure how a valid log looks.
Does my Rep just need to do a simple thing like:
Nov 2015: $300 to utility bills.
Nov 2015: $50 to clothes/personalcare/misc items
or
Nov 13 2015: Paid $61.23 for event tickets at <location>.
Nov 13 2015: Paid $7.97 for Shirt at Walmart store #1234567
Nov 14 2015: Paid $81.32 for share of Electricity Bill
Nov 15 2015: Paid $72.58 for share of Water Bill
etc.
or
Do they need a photocopy of each receipt with each specific charge highlighted?
We're completely new to this and seeing what and how others log it would really be of help.
Also, would having my doctor write a letter saying I am capable of handling my own money affect my eligibility for benefits? (part of my disability is memory replated, which I think is why they want me to have a rep payee)
and with that letter being approved, I would then not need to keep any log of anything?
