Sister expecting a baby soon - Scotland

Hi

I need some advice about my sister please

She's especting a baby in around 2 weeks, she stays in a flat and is claiming income support and housing benefit. Her good for nothing boyfriend has left so he's a waste of space and wont be contributing a penny to her or the baby.

Just now she receives

Housing benefit £595, £625 when baby arrives
Income Support £65 per week

What other things will she be entitled to?

She wants to get back to work after a year and my mum will look after the baby if possible. We will help as much as possible also.

Thanks

Child tax credit
Child benefit
Sure start grant if it's her first child.
Healthy eating vouchers.
When she goes back to work she will be able to claim working tax credits also.
