Anyone know how much income support is?

For a lone parent with 2 children. My eldest will be 2 in Oct and my youngest is 5 months. Am clueless and when i ring the jobcentre to find out they say i have to put a claim in but i cant right now as im on maternity leave.

I get £62 (i think, maybe 64) a week which is full IS for a lone parent. AMount of children doesnt matter as they dont pay you IS for children anymore, it's just for you, then you have to claim child tax credit for your 2 children.
