It looks like your not getting the money your supposed to be, and on £21,000,00 especially when you've had your twins you should be on a lot more,i'd give them a call and talk to someone,you'll beable to sort it out better.I reckon you'll be on more than £100.00 pounds a week. Goodluck.

I am in the same situation as you. Claiming as a couple you are both worse off. We used to claim seperate and were £90 better off!!! Now we have to live off of £90 a week to feed 2 kids and us. The government is a disgrace.!! I only get £5.23 a week child tax credit, and no workin tax credit!

Not nearly enough.
