Who to tell?

[helenas81]

We are not entitled to tax credits or anything but do get the child allowance, as I now have a second baby do I have to tell someone? And who do I contact?

do you mean you get child benefit?or child tax credits?if your income isnt too high you should get CTC x

You need to get the child benefit form where you will be able to fill out details of your existing claim and the details of your new LO. If you could find your original letter from when you first got CB for LO no1 then it would be helpful but I doubt you actually need it.
You should get the form in your pack from the Guildhall when you register LO.

Didn't get anything when we registered her? Looked at tax credits and we earn to much to get anything so was just the child benefit

I got a pack of leaflets, forms etc with a copy of the birth certificate. I would look on the direct.gov website, you shoukd be able to find where to apply.

We got the forms in the bounty pack in hospital.

I called them yesterday, apparently should have got some forms in the bounty pack they give you in hospital. But I didn't stay so never got one. They are sending me the firms in the post
Thanks ladies
