Help to plan my finances, baby on way!

khampson

Hi can anyone help plan my future finances, I currently earn £18700 a year, my partner is currently on job seekers allowance at £65.34 a week. We have a baby due in January, now when the baby is born does anyone know what we will get! As I understand my partner will need to come off job seekers allowance to look after our baby? I private rent at £425 a month.

So I can plan my finances can anyone in similar circumstances tell me what I will receive in working tax credits, child benefits and so on please

Your income is too high to receive WTC.

You will be able to apply for CTC and CB.

If your partner is not in a position to seek work, then yes he will have to come off JSA.

On a wage of nearly £19k, i doubt you would be eligible for any HB or CTB but if you can be bothered to fill out the application form it doesnt hurt to apply.

Forgive me but I dont understand this, how can a partner claim jsa whilst their partner earns 18k ?

Maybe its conts based? Or they don't live together.

You will get child benefit of £20 per week and a little child tax credits. About £20 a week also

Were not living together at the moment, she is on jsa at the minute but when baby is born we are unsure what happens, she does plan to go back into work after baby is born but not until 6 months+

blah, blah, blah, any user can look at previous posts and your name reminded me of your previous thread where you asked about similar things. as in how to defraud the benefit system.
