How reliable is

entitledto.com??
i have just done the check thingy(lol) and it came out that we should get some HB and some CTB yet we have been told that my other half earns too much for us to claim this?
my other half earns roughly £11440 pa and then we have out CTC, WTC and CB it told me all those amounts correctly as to what we get at the min, so is it more than likely correct that we will be entitled to the HB and CTB?
i dont really wanna go applying if were are more than likely gonna be turned down but if we can get it, it will help a great deal.
thanks in advance for any replies

    Its worth claiming, but bear in mind hb are known for messing claims up and losing forms, it took two attempts to get my claim right.
    so if you can stand there incompetence go ahead. ask it to be paid to you rather than the landlord, then you won't get in a muddle.

    Thanks bonnie - I was thinking about it too. My partner is starting self-employment so has no accounts as yet and I was wondering if it was worth all the stress!
