its abother 5 months before your child arrives and youre already seeing pound signs?
maybe your priorities are wrong

With the greatest of respect, I think your reading of my intent is wrong. Pray tell how can you so effortlessly read my mind?

My priority is first and foremost the well being of my expected child. Why on Earth wouldn't I want to receive as much as I possibly could to support my child? Surely as a parent it is my absolute duty to provide as much financial support for my child as possible.

Therefore perhaps it is your attitude which is wrong.

Why aren't you living together or intend to do so if you are having a baby together? You refer to her as your partner. Do you realise that you could already be considered as a couple and therefore her claim for HB possibly fraudulent?

you asked what you were 'owed'/
you earn a decent living so why should you be owed anything?

you have chosen to have a chikld, so support it yourself!

disabled and sick poepke are getting their benefit xur ... so why do you think you should xhoose to have a baby and get paid for it?

your partner will continue to receive DLA and you will receive child benefit once baby arrives.
Whether she continues to receive ESA will depend on the type she is on

When you move in with your partner - if she is on IR ESA - she will lose all of that as you earn too much, so you will be expected to support both of you and the new baby on your income which quite frankly at £32k before tax is more than sufficient in most areas of the country. We brought our "one" child up on far less than that and we never got CTC for all that time due to an overpayment error from TC's in 03 that we have only just finished paying back. You have to set up a proper budget to run the house paying the rent/counil tax and TV licence first followed by utilities then food and insurance for contents. Anything else left goes to debts or savings for a rainy day. If more people actually did this then the whole country would not be in so much debt now. The Gov't could learn alot from basic budgeting too. But that's another story.

Just noticed, you do plan to move in with her....after she gets a more suitable council house...as a single person...how convenient...

She lives in her own flat. I live in my own flat. I really don't see how her housing benefit could be fraudulent as she was already receiving it before we met and we do not stay together.

We will once the baby comes, at that point I suspect that I will have to pay the full rent and council tax, which I will dutifully do.

Good response. people automatically assuming Benefit cheats etc.

OP wants to know if he is entitled to benefits in his situation. they do not need a daily mail lecture

Do you have something against me because I simply make more money than you or something? I don't understand why you are flaming me for making money.

We live in an inclusive society where the Government helps support its people. Yes there are demarcation lines, but I do not know them; ergo I am simply looking for the information.

You also seem to believe that I am having a baby to be "paid" for it. Again you are quite simply wrong.

I have paid my dues into this country since I was 16, if there is help or support available then I want to take it. At the end of the day the better a life I can provide for my child the better.

Your perception of what is right/ wrong is irrelevant in this discussion. If you have nothing constructive to input then please feel free to not input anything at all.

I don't understand what you are insinuating.

Are you suggesting I am somehow trying to cheat the system by getting a house so that she does not have to climb three flights of stairs which given the nature of her disability, is a constant struggle?

For the record, everything I do and ever will do, will be above board and beyond reproach.
