Well there is no requirement per se however, you should be able to maintain yourself with recourse to public funds so that would indicate your disposable income is that of income support or more that's around £178.20 for a couple and one child. You can claim child benefit and tax credits.

After I have paid everything all bills per month left with only £600 so I would fall foul? But add family allowance and tax credit would suffice? Some months meet £750 amount but bills and expenses change per month!

It's not about paying all the bills just housing costs/rent and council tax. So net income (incl. child benefit and tax credits) - rent - council tax = applicable income. The applicable income should be the income support amount or greater.
