    Congratulations.
    Doubtful she'll be entitled to anything if she is working, but will be entitled to child tax credits and child benefit when the baby is born. She may be entitled to housing benefit and council tax benefit when she gives up work and is on maternity pay.
    Check out www.entitledto.co.uk and put in different scenarios.
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.

    Hi

    Depending on if she has a partner and how much she earns could she be entitled to tax credits, sure start maternity grant, healthy start vouchers etc. She will def be entitled to the pregnancy grant.
