I shall be going back to part time work when I have lo and my husband will be working. What benefits do you get if any for the child? Is Income support one? thanks I find it confusing x

Look at working tax credit and child tax credit I will be doing the same once mine comes and i qualify for working tax.

Go to the following http://www.taxcredits.inlandrevenue....axCredits.aspx - 15k - for working tax and child tax.

For income support you would be assed at the time you wanna go back weither you qualify but if not sure go to www.jobcentreplus.co.uk

hope this makes sense and helps xxx

Thank you that is really helpful. x

Hi
You won't qualify for Income Support if husband works full time, but you may qualify for tax credits. Also if you are on a low income you might get housing benefit and council tax benefit. Hope that helps a bit
