Hey all,

I am currently recieving SMP, and I live with my fiance. What would we be entitled to benefits wise out of curiousity, he is on £25k a year and obviously i recieve the £124.88 till August. Many thanks

You can claim for child tax credits and child benefit but possibly not much else from what I've found.

My husband earns a similar amount and I will be on MA from 29 weeks (currently on jobseekers) and it seems that there isn't much available to us that is income based. I could be missing a trick though so if anyone else has been able to claim other benefits then I'm all ears!

Forgot to ask, have you applied for your HIP grant? If not, you can claim that.
