WHAT AM I ENTITLED TO??? confused...

Post by ctl121 » Mon May 03, 2010 9:46 am

Hi All,

Background
I am british and my partner is on a spouse visa and his ILR is due Mar 2011. We both work full time pay our taxes and we live in a private rented property. I am 6 months pregnant now and soon will be going on maternity leave. I have never claimed any benefits before except for student loan which I am paying off from my wages and my partner is not entitled to claim for any either. We are planning to rent out a bigger property as the one we live in is not suitable for a baby. After I go on my maternity our total household income would drop and we are worried that we would not be able to afford a bigger place for our baby.

Question
I would like to know what benefits I am entitled to claim after my baby is born without affecting my partners ILR application?

Please advise... :idea: :idea: :idea:

Thanks in advance.

:)

Have you read the first pinned topic in this Claiming Benefits section of this Board? Given the technicalities of this issue I am loathe to repeat those technical arguments in yet another topic.

Your situation is not unique!
