1st time mam 2 be

[mammywannabee]

I work full time normally.. I'm signed off with SPD at the moment. I'm married and my hubby earns £16k a year and my basic wage not including any bonus or flexibility allowance is £15k. I am planning on going down to 16-20hours after maternity leave so would be classed as part time.
Are we entitled to any benefits etc? Iv had a look at the calculator online but it just confuses the hell outta me.. Can anyone shed any light on the situation for me?

Hi. I'm a first time mum to be too!!

Similar to your situation. I work full time and my oh earns 13500. And if I go to 27 hours like I want too I'd be getting 11800 and by what I did on the calculator it came back as no help other than child benefit! X
