Chapter 4
How much can you get?
[ch 4: pages 65-66]You could get a basic amount and extra on top of this (known as elements). How much you get depends on income and other circumstances (for example, if your child is disabled). The basic “family” amount is up to £545 a year (see boxes below). There is no single limit for income because it depends on your circumstances (and those of your partner).
