Strange result from direct.gov.uk benefit advisor

Hi,
I recently filled in the benefits advisor on direct.gov.uk to see what I was eligible for. I filled it in as accurately as I could however was shocked with the result.
It read as follows:
You may be able to claim the following benefit(s), which we have estimated for you:
Council Tax Benefit £0.00/week
Earnings £232.57/week
Total weekly income £232.57/week
I can't see this being correct as this would nearly double my wage (minimum wage bartender) and theres no options to tell me where to apply for it or anything.
Has anybody else had a result like this or know what it could be all about?
Many thanks in advance
Drew

It means your not entitled to anything as your income is considered enough for you to live on0
