what benefits should i be/can i claim now i have had my little man?
I have just sent off my form for child benefits (£20 a week), but what else should i be looking into? I dont think i qualify for much because both me and my OH work full time (obviously im on maternity at the minute).
I know the government give you something (£250 is it??) for a childs trust fund but how do i apply for it?
I know i probably sound really stupid asking but ive never been told by midwife etc and have no idea where to look for information?!
Any help greatly appreciated!!  _________________

You may qualify for working tax credits or whatever its called not sure but i think to claim you have to be earning between you both less than £55,000 per annum (i tmay be wrong). The Child Trust Fund you should receive a voucher within a month of applying for/receiving the Child Benefit, I believe. _________________
