Quick question: how much IS?

Quick question to help out a discussion on another board.

Non working couple, both looking for work. No disabilities and no savings. 3 kids age 16 (at school), 14 and 12 say. How much income support and CTC would they get. I know they would also get LHA and council tax benefit but I would like to know IS and CTC. If anyone knows the answer without me having to wade through entitledto?

    They would not get IS, it is JSA £102.75

    £143.00 CTC [estimate]
