Under 'Applicable Amount' he should also receive an amount of £65.62 for 'Young child under 11' and
'Family Premium' with an amount of £17.40
If he doesn't receive a full calculation please request one.
Just be sure it states 'Lone Parent' £71.70
Some councils are very good with their understanding of requirements and others are not.
Once your husband has claimed and received the assessment/calculation post here if you have any concerns.
thank you very much Sir Peter
