it's £60.50 pw. like the last post says, you keep £20 of any maintenance

and you will also be entitled to full amount child tax credit approx. £45.00

plus child benefit, help with prescriptions and travel to hospital and benefits appointments (don't forget to claim travel allowance for these)

you will be entitled to free school meals for definite and also possibly help with school uniform if your local education authority has this scheme running (mine doesn't).

you will also get full entitlement on housing benefit and council tax benefit.

try www.entitledto.com - for a rough estimate.

hope this helps

good luck!

Hi, probably the wrong thread, but £20 maintenance per week? I only get £10 per week? Ex pays £180 to CSA, and I get £40 p/m from them?.........

I used the example given from the poster before me, I think however that you're right and only £10 pw is kept, can't quote for certain as I didn't receive any maintenance.

just looked at the CSA board, and sadly yes only £10!
