How accurate is the entitled to website?

I ask as it has just said we are entitled to £150 a WEEK in 2009 - from when I have the baby. That cannot be right can it?? Its almost 7k for the year! I dont want to get my hopes up. But seriously, that cannot be correct!

It was spot on with mine ....also when my tax credits go down next wk it states i will be entitled to housin benifit ....you will get more until baby is one then it drops quite a lot x

Is your OH working?

Abz1982 · Mar 31st, 2009, 09:13 AM

Yes he is - 48 hours a week. I put in what I got for 08/09 which was just over 20k, oh got near 25k. This year he will get nearly 30 - but that includes overtime. I will get about £6475 cos of maternity pay and etc. but they say u still say you are working when your on maty leave.

Oh my head!
