I don’t know if you’s cover this kind of thing but I handed in notice to work last week to leave as I’m due off Maternity anyways I rang citizen advice and they said we aren’t entitled to any working tax or housing benefit as my partner works full time earning £17.200. Is this right? I found it very shocking that that’s enough for two children and 2 adults. Very worried now.
Thanks

Can you reply please. thanks I did community care work I’ve had to give up because I had to sell my car. Also maternity had ended
You should probably have figured it out before handing your notice in. If you believe it’s wrong, go on the entitled to website.
Are you able to withdraw your notice and go back to work? It’s a big decision to give it up so you need to research your options very carefully.
You should be able to get some tax credits but it won’t be a lot. When it comes to benefits around 16,000 a year is the cut off point xx
My husband earns £21000 and I get tax credits no housing or council tax benefits we didn’t get no help when we had 1 child and but we now have 2 children so get a bit of tax credits x
I’m not sure about council tax and housing benefit but you should be able to claim tax credits and working tax credits depending on how much you earned combined last year.
If you’ve left you won’t get maternity pay now surely? If you’d stayed I think you may have been eligible for working tax with a higher limit.
I think you should be entitled to something, would also depend on what you earnt last year, as it goes off year before xx go on entitled to website, that will give you a better idea xx
My other half earns £1280 a month and we entitled to no housing benifit or anything either and our rent is £440 pcm I find it stupid that we not entitled to a penny help. I applied for safety gates from sure start but because oh works we ain’t allowed them I have to pay £15 each gate I want x
If you’ve worked up to 26 weeks in the 66 weeks before your baby is due, then you maybe entitled to MA from the government.

Yes that’s right. The cut off is £16,000 a year per family.
Its because they go on last Year’s earnings so next year you should be entitled to some.
Our income is 21000 and we get tax credits but no working tax…do the online tax credits calculator
rules have changed recently, on thresholds etc . All new claims might have different thresholds
That can’t be right. My hubs earns about £18000 before tax and we still get tax credits. No housing/council tax benefits x
My partner earns £17,900 all we get is child tax credits which has now been reduced. We also have 2 kids
Maternity allowance? U can apply for that
Yes that’s right
