Hi,
I have been looking into all the benefits you can get while on mat leave, but how do people survive?
With mat pay, child benefit and tax credit i will still be getting only half of my usual monthly pay check. I'm seriously worried how i'm going to pay the monthly bills, let alone having spare cash.
Plus DH can't get it into his thick head that we will have to cut back on luxuries like big shopping bills, ordering films from Sky etc
Am i missing how much benefits are? Plus whenever i try the tax credits calculator on the government website, the amount goes down each time i try it! (i assume i have had a baby already when i use it). I tried it again his morning and it said £6???!!!!
I think it's disgusting that maternity pay is taxable and my stupid work have refused to give me any sort of maternity package
