I would just take whatever you were approved for, not change ANYTHING (because you will likely never get it done), set up a separate bank account for the proceeds, not touch the funds UNLESS (a) it's for an expense that is clear cut with zero ambiguity that you can point to the agreement and see it stated in the language, and/or (b) it's an absolute necessity to use it.

Comfortable bed with nice bedding, room darkening/blackout curtains in bedroom, decent shower, in unit washer/dryer, decent kitchen with all the necessities, good wifi, and a decent smart TV, iron, etc..- I travel with my wife, baby, and dog.
