we both work full time (wife now on mat leave since 9th jan)
non of us are disabled,our total home income is £35k when the wife isnt on mat leave.
just venting my frustraion thats all :mad:

I'm so sorry that £637 per week isn't enough to live on. Shocking there are no state handouts for this level of income Have you tried have a load more kids?

So you think everyone who has a baby should be entitled to state benefits, The state didn't ask you to become a mother/father.

What support do you like, Tax credits is for people with low incomes or disabled children etc, You just said you don't have disabled person in your house, And with a 35k year income. No way will you be entitled to state handouts.

OP.... PLEASE do not refer to your wife as *the* wife.:p

That won't be why they get it, jealousy is a nasty thing.

You don't get tax credits for having mental health issue. You can get an extra element of tax credits if you have a disability and receive a qualifying benefit. Plus they have 2 kids.

I get DLA for mental health issues. I'd give back every penny and more to be fit and healthy.

Get that chip off your shoulder and thank your lucky stars that you and your family are well and happy.
