Pregnant with second child. Benefit entitlement?

4 replies

Fabalooloo · 13/03/2015 18:03

Without getting into my life story, I'm a single stay at home mum to a 3 year old. And I'm pregnant with my second. I am currently on income support, child benefit and child tax credit. I was just wondering how much more I would be entitled to with a second. I'm aware I will get £13 child benefit but will I get more tax credits? I currently get £63 a week for my son. And will I get any extra income support?

Thanks in advance.

I think tax credits do go up a little for a second child.

You won't get any more Income Support. You might get slightly more from Tax Credits.

More tax credits and child benefit. No increase to Income Support.
