Baby Benefits - Scotland

Good Afternoon All,
Myself (34) and partner (31) have just had our first child! Obviously she is now on maternity, we think probably for the first year.
Between us we earn £64,000 (£32,000) each, and her job package has given her the first two months at full pay, before sliding down to the statutory amount.
I have tried looking through the .Gov websites to see what we would be eligible for, but it really is not user friendly.
Can someone offer some help or guidance for us to start looking at what we might be entitled for?

Congratulations on the wee one!
Have you tried any of the online calculators? When you input your details they identify any benefits for which you may qualify, as well as those for which you will qualify.
Just remember to indicate at the start you reside in Scotland, otherwise you won't see the Scottish only benefits.2
