Chapter 4
How much can you get?
You could get a basic amount and extra on top of this (known as elements). How much you get depends on things like your income and circumstances (e.g. if your child is disabled). The basic “family” amount is up to £545 a year. There is no single limit for income because it depends on your circumstances (and those of your partner).
