    Make sure the departments know your income is accurate. If it's changed then submit a change of circumstances. How far out is what you receive to what entitledto says your should get. Sometimes the figures aren't always accurate it's relying on what you enter being accurate too.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Might be worth sharing more details here... the calculator may be wrong etc. What benefit rates or benefits are different than you currently get?

    Turn2 us provides an estimate of your potential benefits entitlement.

    The website also lists groups of people who the calculator doesn't work for.

    How much is 'far less'?
    What benefit is it?
