Benefit entitlement - advice needed

I have never claimed any sort of benefit in my life so am clueless here and just after some advice - the entitled to calculator is also confusing me!
My sister has recently seperated from her partner and was just after a guide as to what she's entitled to and what the rough amounts might be.
She is an adult over 18 and is not working/no savings. She has two children, one of 2 and one of 6 and is living in a one bed flat owned by the council.
By my reckoning, as well as the housing benefit/council tax benefit which is all sorted, she is entitled to child benefit for the two children, child tax credits and income support
Does anyone have any idea if this is correct and what these amounts might be? she is currently in the process of sorting this out but just wanted to give her some advice ahead of time if i could
thanks in advance
