Working Family Payment question

    My OH has started working a job 20 hours a week so is entitled to claim Working Family Payment.

    I'm on invalidy pension, according to the return to work calculator even taking into account my payment she would be entitled to 157 a week, but if you add our 2 payments together it's about 20 below the cutoff.

    So which is right?
    The return to work calculator
    Working it out myself

    Thanks in advance

    How much invalidity pension are you getting and how much nett wages will he get and how many children do you have?

    I'm on 250 and the other half is on 260 with 1 child, I reckon we are only due the min of 20 but the benefit to work calculator on the gov site says she can claim about 250

    from what i can tell the benefit to work calc is only for jobseekers and lone parents payments calc. What it shows is the difference between working and what jobseekers you could get if not working at all.



    Wfp is calced off your income - which if its 510 per week then yes your 21 euro below the limit.
