What are we entitled too?

Mintedtoskinted

Hi everyone,

Wondering if anyone could help me please ?

Expecting first baby any day now with my partner and really just want to find out what we might be entitled too.. I've looked on the government websites and used the calculators but can't make any ends of it!

Here's the situation..

I work full time 5 days a week in sales and most of my final wage is commission.. I'm on a £20k basic and earn around another £20k in commission every year, so that would put me on £40k a year!

My partner was self employed up until the end of March when she stopped working to prepare for the baby.. She earned £21k for the last financial year..

My question is what would we be entitled to in terms of benefits?

Thanks

Your income is too high for child tax credits.

Thanks guys, thought that might of been the case...

It's a shame they don't work benefits out on a % of the commission like they do mortgages!!
