Hi Ladies

Im not even out of first tri yet but looking at mine and OH finances for after the baby comes and im starting to worry we wont cope! We both have debts which we plan to reduce as much as possible before LO arrives, i am hoping to go back to work part time but im confussed with working out benefits and i have read on here that there will be some changes in April, i was wondering if anyone can let me know that on a combined income of £34000 if i would be entilted to anything? Or what the changes are? I wont have pay for childcare luckly as family have offered to help but i am hoping for some benefits as i will be dropping £7000 a year so we will struggle and family cant look after LO 5 days a week! Arrghh sorry for the ramble hope someone can advice me a little xx

when me and oh had an income of £29,000 between us we got around £40 every 4 weeks tax credits and £80 every 4 weeks child benefit. You will get the child benifit that wont change but the tax credits may go down
