I have worked since i was 14, never claimed any benifits?

but i have just had my first child cant really go back to work as we have no one to babysit. What benifits can i claim?

None as far as I am aware

Ring the local JobCentre Plus/Benefits Agancy or Dept For Work & Pensions - they will tell you all you need to know

It depends on if your husband/partner is in full-time employment and how much they earn I think. You will get child benefit if you are in the UK though.

visit or ring your local jobcentre on monday

u can clam working tax credits if you do go back to work they will also hep u with babysitting costs...(must be a registared childminder)..you may be able to claim jobseekers but other then that i not sure....

Child benifits, jobseekers allowance maybe, you will get something, there is a allowanced called child support, but that depends if the father of the your child works & gives money to you, but you have to go the jobcenter & explain & they will sort you out, Peace.

Did you get any statutory maternity pay? This should have been paid by your employer if you have been working for the same employer for more than 26 weeks.
Child benefit, claim this now and don't forget about the child trust fund payment of 拢250 now and more when your child is 7 years of age.
Child Tax credits.
If you want to go back to work, you may be able to get help with your childcare costs too.
If you are on a low income, you may be able to get help with your council tax and rent. There is lots of information on the public Citizens Advice site at the link below. Many congratulations on the birth of your baby. x

You will be eligible to claim Child Benefit automatically. You may be eligible for Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit depending on your income. You would only be able to claim Jobseekers Allowance Contribution Based if you were available for and actively seeking employment. If you are on low income you're best bet is Tax Credits and you can contact them via HMRC on 0845 300 3900. If you do decide to return to work and have been awarded Tax Credits you may be eligible to get some of the cost towards registered childcare through Tax Credits.

another penny sucking person, claiming off all of us.
