Question

My girfriend is pregnant and self employed, wondered what benefits she may be entitled to?

Answer 1

as she is self-employed and not an employee she will be able to claim maternity allowance

this will give you more info about it http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/JCP/Cust...

after the baby arrives there will be child tax credit and child benefit.

you should contact welfare rights (through the county council) or a citizens advice bureau to get a full benefit check done to ensure she is getting all she can.
