I have to say I started fiddling around with it thinking it was a new checker, then found out it was the entitledto checker.*SIGH*

I have an offset mortgage. Is the checker accurate for that situation if I input my mortgage and savings as if they were separate ?0

I'm had a go and also realised it is the same as entitledto. Both gave an accurate tax credit amount, give or take a few pounds. However it said I was entitled to housing benefit. I went to my local council website and put in the same details but the diffrence in the amount of entitlement was around £50 a week which seems quite a difference between the two websites. I know it does say it's a guide only so just wonderd if these differences are quite common. I have applied and awaiting the decision from the council today.
I just wondered if anyone else has used the calculator and found such a difference in amounts from the calculator and what you actually get ?:beer:0
