Newbe needs help with SMP & CA

[marina46]

Hello

I'm new to mumsnet and was hoping for some advice.

i have DS age 12 and DD age 5 and am hoping to be pregnant again soon.

I work 10 hours a week (£90)and get DLA and CA for my DS. I wanted to know if anyone recieves carers allowance and how that affect Stat maternity pay or vice versa. I know i will only 90% of £90 for 39 weeks but will it effect my CA?

thanks

don't know the answer but would re-post your question in the special needs section with people seeing it who claim the same benefits.
