Myself and DH have a combined income of £46000.
I have done numerous calculators and apparently, I am not entitled to Child Tax Credits or Working Tax Credits when baby gets here.
A few sources have even said I shouldn't go for Child Benefit as it wouldn't be worth it in tax returns
We didn't budget for a baby thinking we would get extra help to finance them etc, but I thought we were entitled to at least a little something and I have to say, I feel gutted. We live in a high cost area, London, and rent here too. We want to move out into a more rural/outer area in the next 2 years max but that just doesn't seem possible now. No way we can afford to save that much. We don't even have a lot of outgoings. Our rent is over 1K a month and that is considerablly cheap here.
Just doesn't seem fair at all

AIBU?
To be gutted we're not entitled to any financial help?
