Not sure where the other £1,847 will be coming from, unless they're taking their game to the next level and putting on a show at PIP assessments, which would still leave them short even if they were placed on the highest levels of support.
As they were technically living separately, they were able to make two separate claims, one with two children and one with one. Granted, they essentially had a second house sitting empty rather than the extra £300 in their pocket, but it's still quite a bit!
