Parents of disabled children-Special needs forum support group

hi this is my first post, for the last 4 years i have qualified for help from the family fund. but under new rules i earn £1027 a year to much (i now receive full housing and council tax benefit and work). i have 3 children so my income would be more than those people with only 1 child, how come family fund doesn't allow any thing for families with more children as there income and expendiure would be more.
also the council breakdown says i am receiving £22 a week under what they say is the amount i need to live on.
by the way i'm in england if i lived in scotland i would qualify.

Just wanted to check you are not including DLA or child benefit in the yearly income?
