Resigning due to work related stress...

LTP123

Hi,

I am resigning today due to work related stress. I have been absent from work for around 4 months because of it and have been frantically looking for another job for months but no luck.

If I am a stay at home mum for a few months would I be able to claim tax credits for my hubbys wage?

He works full time and earns about £19000 before tax, we have one child aged two.

I know there are changes from April will they effect us? I know they are going to effect some one earner families.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you put your details into the benefits calculators below you'll get a rough idea of what you can claim.
Are you sure that resigning is the right thing to do?

Shouldn't you be getting Sick Pay and then moving onto sickness benefits?

Patience! A lot of regular posters are at work.

If you currently receive child care help via tax credits, you won't get these if you stop working.
