I'm sure you can get it upto 40k a year...I assume you are claiming HB, council tax benefit, child benefit too?

I dont no of it's changed but when we had our first because our income had dropped from 31000 ( both working full time ) to 24000 ( me only getting SMP ) instead of calculating how m we were entiltled by last tax year they calculated it using the lower income of that tax year

Is the 29000 last tax year income? If it is ring them and tell them you won't make that much this year

On the site it says for 30,000 or more u have to have 2 children before u get anything, all we get is child benefit of £20 a week
