We're having a baby!......now what can we claim?!?!

My wife's due to give birth any day now :j and we've just realised that we can claim some sort of benefits etc but are not sure what.

She's Hungarian, but we've been married 2 1/2 years and she's been living in the UK for 4 years. She hasn't worked for the last 6 months and I'm in full time employment. What benefits / credits are we entitled to?

Thanks!

  • you will get child benifit once the baby is born
    depending on how much you earn there is a grant of 500 ask your midwife for form
    and also when the baby is born , once again depending on how much you earn you can apply for family tax credits . hope this helps
