even just for me and the wife £104 per week is a joke

But you don't, you get DLA as well!

I really think that you'd get better help if you gave all your information at once. Sometimes it's just you and your wife, sometimes it's a family of 5, but getting the whole picture is like pulling teeth, I'm afraid.

My point is that you don't live on £104 per week. You have £104 + DLA + CB + CTC + CA.

£104 is more than many working couples have leftover after housing costs!

I am with Oldernotwiser on this, we have all tried to help you, you have not even taken the time to thank anyone, and you still will not give us the information you require. Do you actually want any help?

If you're not talking about yourself, who are you talking about? A non working childless couple could live on £104 pw, with housing costs paid, however, you are not in that situation!

If the OP thinks that in general £104 is not enough for couples to live on then maybe this thread should be in Discussion Time.

So you need to write down every bit of income that you have.
