Extending maternity without pay any extra benefits?

Hiya,
My wife is due to go back to part time work early November 16 hours, she is mulling over extending the maternity to 12 months her entitlement to maternity pay would then cease which would be a problem as I am currently receving IB so we are not on a great deal to begin with, if she did this would be be entitled to anything else at all? or would our existing benefits go up ie tax credits or could there be something new to claim
Best regards
Pete

try https://www.entitledto.co.uk it'll say there what you'll be able to claim, you just go through the questions filling in your circumstances, it's really easy.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0
