child tax/working tax/child benifit

john1986

Basically it's nearly time for my partner to return to work and we haven't the foggiest what were intitled to, asked the local job centre etc but never given full clear answers wondering if I can chat or ask questions to anyone on here a few to start with are

1, can we claim anything other than child benifits while she's on mat leave from work ?

2, I'm getting some crazy figures back like £90 p/w in child and working tax credits surely this cannot be right ?

Our circumstances are I'm 30+ hours a week and earn roughly 14,400 per year

She 27.5 hours a week and roughly 12,200 per year.

Any help will be massively appreciated

Those are just roughly what we will both be earning when she returns to work and our baby is in childcare

1 child she will be 9 month old, no disabilities, and childcare would be 66 pound per week

April until dec was full pay and Jan to this April was stat mat pay so I'm struggling to work it out really thanks for your help so far, soooo bloody confused haha

Going to try and dig them out, what happens with overtime do I declare it by calling them or is it all sorted when I next tell them our earnings ?
