Things to apply for:
Working tax credits
Housing benefit

When baby is born:
Child tax credits
Child benefit (you will 100% get this)

Tryy this for a rough idea:

Can't remember if this one includes poss housing help based on income - remember income will change when your on SMP from your employer and when baby is born may be intitled to a family element. Always worth trying each time circumstances change - every penny helps
