Benefits
Hi girls, not sure on the whole benefit process. I am currently on UC, as I left my job for reasons, I get my standard allowance every month, would I get an additional payment with that payment for having my first child? And what other payments will I get if I am entitled to?

You'll get more money as you'll get the child element. Other payments could be: - rent depending on your circumstances. - Carers - if you care for someone for more than 30hrs a week and they're in receipt of qualifying benefits. LCWRA - if you have a health condition that prevent you from working and have been through the health process to confirm and have been awarded this (have to submit fitnotes and have health assessment before establishing if you are entitled) Can check out entitledto.co.uk to see. Also CAB are good at making sure you are getting what you are entitled to.
Look into Healthy Start vouchers too for free fruit veg milk etc
