Tax Credits And Income Support

Assuming you have a partner who is getting £90p/w, two children £30.20 and carers allowance £48.65 a week coming in, we would get about £132.43 in tax credits. Would we then get any top up from IS?

what is the £90 for is it a benefit or a wage ? IS for a couple is just over £90, look at the following site to see if you are entitled to anything else

best thing to do is get an IS application form and send it off, it wont hurt applying whether you get the little extra or not
