    I'm genuinely shocked at that figure although I don't blame anyone for applying for it. That would mean having to pay just £55 a week towards the rent each week out of £346 leaving £291 a week for living costs.........or have I misunderstood?

    Forums can be/are a good guide to entitlement and it is good practice to back it up with clarification from the relevant department/specialist with written confirmation to safeguard yourself.
