hiya again. got my fone call on wednesday from OR, quite nervous, and while sat thinging about it i thought of a couple more questions.
I am due to have a baby early feb, obviously our working and child tax credits go up so will have more money income. will the OR want to take some off me?
Also as we are on low income(business isnt making too much) I will be entitled to a £190 health in pregnancy grant that all pregnant women get, but also £500 maternity grant, which is to buy things for new baby ect, will that class as an income??
worried a bit bout them as i need the grants to buy baby things, pushchair, carset, bedding clothes ect.
Thanks, Lucy

The OR will not be interested in the grants as they are specifically for your baby. Obviously having a new baby your outgoing will increase so will swallow up any rise. When hte time comes ask the OR for a new form to fill in and before sending it back pot it up here and someone will check it over for you.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0
