The results for the adult with child are as follows:
Turn2Us:  £964
entitledto:  £888
BetterOff:  £864

So exactly £100 difference…
I have checked the input three times and the results are the same.  The only difference I can see is that Turn2Us is the only one with the option to select “currently staying with a family under Homes for Ukraine Scheme”
any advice welcome!
Thanks

Ah, that'll be it - if they're renting they won't be staying with a family under the scheme.  You can either put in their current details, or their details as if they were in a different situation (in this case, renting somewhere of their own), can't mix the actual and hypothetical

As spoonie says, you are not comparing like with like. Betteroff is the one I would generally place least reliance on. Re do turn2us without ticking the Homes for Ukraines option. You are trying to find out entitlement when they will no longer be staying with you. You should then get similar answers from turn2us and entitledto - there may be a difference of a few pounds.

Unfortunately not - i’ve changed it but get the same result.  The question relates to the Immigration Status, not the living status.

So it still showing as £100 more than the other two, and the main difference is in the HC calculation.  We will just ignore it and budget for the other two (although the result is closer to calcotti’s advice so it’s possible that entitledto and BetterOff are incorrect)

Unfortunately, without more information it isn't possible to offer any more advice.
