Turn to us benefit checker question....

So how accurate is it? I've never claimed anything before and have just had a look and it says I am entitled to some child and tax credits. It didnt ask about dhs income did I miss that bit out?

It should have asked about both your incomes.

Go back and make sure you check the bit where it asks if you have a partner. When you click 'yes', a whole new section opens up to fill in DP's details.

Thanks I will do, that'll teach me to try and do something useful won't it

Found it, at least I know what I'd get if dh wasn't around, going to fill it out now and see if he's worth keeping

The area it can't help you much is on Housing Benefit. Local authorities have various rules so all it can say is 'you might qualify' and you have to pursue it yourself. My parents found they could claim a Carers Allowance so it helped them. The Tax Credit stuff I've found to be pretty accurate.
