What to do when the amount of entitled benefits on entitledto.com is vastly different to what an advisor says?

Put amounts exactly into entitledto.com, said I'm entitled to around £41 a week. Phoned CAB and spoke to their UC advisor who said I'm entitled to £6 a week. Really dont understand the discrepancies.

Can anyone advise?

There's a really good group on Facebook, universal credit essentials.

Did the entitled too show the workings out ?

Yes it broke it down. But the advisor just said i was entitled to £6 only .
I haven't got fb

The difference is £35. Do you have 2 children? If so, it's likely that Entitledto.com is including Child Benefit. Universal Credit doesn't include Child Benefit, so it's paid separately.
