Is entitled to right? Does this sound right to you?

Afternoon all,

I've just been onto the entitled to website to see what me & my partner will be entitled to in a few months time when bubs arrives and its told me that we will be entitled to £83.50 per week in benefits :eek: This is on top of my partners wage of £250.00 approx per week.

The breakdown its given me is-

£18.10 child benefit
£9.96 tax credit
£56.21 child tax credit
£8.32 council tax
£47.12 housing benefit

Is that right? Thats a heck of a lot of money for a week :confused:

Any help appreciated... Thanks

    It seemed to work out right when I did it.

    Not sure about the council tax and housing benefit though, as I take home at lot less than £250.00 per week and don't qualify for either.

    My rent is only £385 pcm which is reasonably affordable anyway so I don't think we'd qualify for either housing benefit or council tax benefit...

    Thanks for your replies :beer:
