How much do people on benefits receive?

[stickybeaker]

This is a genuine question - if you were in the situation where you don't work and have everything paid for, how much do you have 'cash' each week/month.

There is no polite way of asking that, and I apologise in advance, I don't want to offend anyone.

I'd just like to know after everything is paid for how much do people have to live on?

Thanks in advance.

Hi There
I am a regular but have namechanged.I am finding it difficult to work out what we might receive.
We consist of a 9 year old,a 22 month old and 2 adults.
Would anyone be able to tell me how much we might receive weekly,including council tax and private landlord rent help?This is based on us both not working at presentThanks in Advance.

Looks like it might be around 220ish a week!How the heck do people manage?We are moving back from Ireland,we have been here A FEW YEARS and I have forgotten bits about UK.I am worried we won't manage.WHow much on av is Electricity,water car tax and insurance?
