I am a single parent to two children and pregnant with my third. I am currently in a two bedroom but need to move to a three as soon as possible as my baby is due in June.
I have a few questions :
1.) I have found a lovely property marketed as a two bedroom but it has a box room which could easily be used for a baby. Can I claim as I two bedroom until June and then a three bedroom from when the baby is born as I will be using the property as a three bed from then?
2.) My childcare costs are going to be £385 a week...am I allowed to claim tax credits up to the maximum and then get childcare vouchers from work for some of the remainder that I can't claim for?
3.) With UC in mind, I was thinking of reducing my hours to 34 per week when I return to work in October...how will this affect me under UC?
Thank you in advance, I'm panicking :(
