Argh! I feel like crying I have just added my OH to my claim and my money has gone from £157 a week down to £57 a week.. OH is on incapacity but hasn't paid enough in NI to receive any payment. He isn't entitled to income support because I earn too much (£450 a month!?) - they told me on the phone to add him to my claim and I would get a little bit extra but oh no, I get £100 less! God knows what we're going to do cos we can't live off £700 a month Does this sound right? I phoned them up and they said yeah that's correct I upped my overdraft when they suspended my claim cos I had no income except £450 a month wages.. I was expecting a back payment to cover my overdraft but I only got £200 so i'm still £500 OD .. argh! I feel so shit

Me and my OH both work and we get £65 a week for 2 children, we are on £1500 a month. This does seem really low
