am I recieving the right benefits?

Hi, I dont know if I am receiving the right benefits and I was hoping somebody could help me. I have tried getting advice from my local area by seeing people and phoning and knowone seems to be that interested in helping you. I have three children all under the age of ten and are all in school, I currently dont work and my husband earns just under £18,000. Please can you help .

What benefits are you receiving at the moment? Do you own or rent your home?

Currently I am on my normal family allowance for each of my children, we get family and working tax credit which i think is the right amount for what my husband earns and I own my house.

Have you tried putting your details into www.entitledto.com? Might give you a good idea if what you get is correct.

Hi there
I don.t know if the Benefits system in Scotland is different but have you tried the Benefits Check up on this site, it still might be the same one as stated earlier. If not try your local CAB.
Regards

thank you justthisonce I gave that website a go and I am currently going through the process of getting my benefits ammended. I am glad I asked for advice now because the extra money will be a great help. I was wondering if anyone knows where to go for the best deals to get contract mobiles. Currently we are spending on average £5-£10 a week on a pay as you go phone and I would like to get that down if I could.:eek: :mad:
