    Are you sure you have not entered that amount as a monthly figure?

    Positive! :(
  • At the risk of sounding awkward, I'd go through it again because something has clearly been entered wrong. There is no way you will qualify for CTB. If you are still unsure after that, I suggest seeking advice from your local council tax benefit office.
