    Well I`m not expecting full recovery soon for my wife. Of course I`m optimistic but she have had diagnosed bipolar affective disorder and started long term treatment for that which will take at least 1 year .
    I`m waiting to hear from Tax Credits . Hopefully we can still get Working Tax Credit, if not I`m considering to claim Income Support.
    I`m not concentrating now about next year. Probably I will take part time job 16 hours a week to qualify for Tax Credits and my parents will help with the wife and baby then. That`s affordable for us.
    My wife CPN nurse promised to help us in every aspect so she can provide supportive letter any time , I have to just reorganize and find out what kind of help we entitled to.
    My life insurance will not help as we have just Critical Illness cover.
    Thanks for all the posts , I really do appreciate .

    OP, your posts are just a little hard to read, is English not your first language?

    As long as you've lived here and paid your taxes in order to be able to claim benefits, all will be well. And your use of English is really quite good!:D
