My partner works full time & i plan to work part time after our baby comes, what benefits are we entitled to?

Question

I have worked full time for the last 14 years and plan to work part time after my maternity leave. I know we get standard child benefit but i'm very confused about working tax credit etc etc

Help! Thanks

Answer 1

You work, you get the "benefit" of a paycheck.  What more do you think you deserve and why?

Answer 2

go to www.entiltedto.co.uk fill in the on-line form as if your already working part time and it will tell you what ur entilted to.

Answer 3

If your income is below approx £66,000 you should be entitled to the child ellement which I beleive to be around £200-300, if your combined income is around £30,000 or less you will get more, plus help with your child care costs. I don't know all the detail, but if you key in a search for tax credit, you will find that the tax credit website has a tax credit calculator where you enter your income and afew other details and it tell you how much you will get if you make a claim. Good luck, its a huge nightmare once you have applied though!! Hope it goes well with baby.
