Universal credit

Who knows about universal credit?

I'm thinking about leaving Dh. Let's not bother with all that drama here. Just considering.

3 bed houses here are between 1300 and 1500. I have 3 kids so need min 3 beds.

I earn around £47000 so not low income but after deductions including pension it's around £2700 so not rich either.

I just did a universal credit calculator to see if I can get anything. It came up £320.11 a week in addition to child benefit.

Is that right? It feels like a lot! I just want to hear other people's experiences. I thought I'd get nothing tbh.

Great if I could get it as there'll be some joint debt to pay off and without UC I'd be struggling.
