My sister has just started up a beauty business about 6 months ago, 3 months ago she got pregnant (she will be a single parent) shes trying to make her business work but only takes 150 a week 40 of which goes to rent for her room.
At present she doesnt claim anything, am i right in thinking she doesnt earn enough to claim tax credits? What benefits should she be looking at? Shes currently living at home with my dad
Help much appreciated as she is really stressed about all this
