Hello, I've posted here about 6 months ago moaning on about not knowing what to do, its taken me this long to decide but to cut a long story short I am intending to leave my hectic, stressful full time job in June (its not a possible part-timer, too much to do) and taking my 2.5 year old out of nursery to make the most of the fun years while I can. We are in the lucky position of hopefully being able to scrape through on one salary but I did wonder what my entitlements would be...forgive my ignorance all you seasoned and streetwise SAHMs (probably rolling your eyes right now) but as a SAHM are there any welfare benefits or anything like that? Would be grateful for any advice ....or scathing comments

Tax Credits - but it will depend on your household income.

Nothing but tax credits depending on your household income.

If your DH/Dps hours are over 16 per week tax credits and child tax credits.
