Have you tried the benefits checker as if you are not returning to work or with you getting a part time job? If hubby earns £800 PCM you will be entitled to tax credits, child benefit and possibly housing and council tax benefit. Maybe some income support.
The OPs husband earns too much for income support and possibly too much for council tax and housing benefits, unless they live in a high rent area.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

£800 PCM isn't much. Prob too much for Income support but would get some housing help via tax credits. My oh earns £1500 a month and I'm entitled to around £16 per week. Op should get more.0
