Okay so I'm probably going to sound a little dumb here lol but I've just been trying to figure out if my partner and I are entitled to any help financially once we have baby! Does anyone know how much you earn before you aren't entitled to child tax credits etc?
And someone's told me about a sure start maternity grant? But I'm pretty sure my partner earns too much for us to claim? X
Think you have to earn under £28,000 for working tax credits. It's around that amount I know me and my partner aren't entitled as together we earn over xx the sure start maternity grant you have to be on some sort of benefits to claim which is a bleeding joke ! Xx
@charney91x, as long as one of you works over 25 hours a week (I think) and is over 25 (can be any age but with a child) then you'll be intitled to working tax credits then everyone gets child tax and child benefit, you can get the maternity grant if your on income support, JSA, some disability benefits or if you get the higher rate child tax credits x
If you type it in on google there's a tax credits calculator on the direct gov page that should let you know if you are entitled to it or not :) x

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
If me and my partner both work and claim no benefits or anything, are we entitled to the maternity grant?
68 more days to go
How much longer do you mamas have and time sure does feel like it's standing still.
Question: how much is the blood work test that tells you the gender? I'm on state health insurance so I'm sure it doesn't cover it, but I have three friends getting it done and finding out way early and I'm dying to know what my baby is 😫😫😍😍
My doctor also recommended me getting the flu shot while pregnant ? I'm not sure if I want to or if i should ? It's all scary to me !! What do you ladies think ? Did you get the flu shot while pregnant ? Are there any risks? Or should I wait ? I'm so scared of taking anything while pregnant , much less getting this shot.. He said it isn't mandatory , just recommended.
We aren't entitled to anything other than the £50 child benefit that everyone gets. It sucks. You work hard and then get nothing in return. X
