Tax Credits??? SMP??? Advice Please
Does anyone know if i can claim child tax crdites or working tax credits when i am recieving statutory maternity pay??
My contract at work is due to expire 31st June and i am unsure if it is going to be extended. HR at work have advised that even if my contract is terminated (which if it is i will be really p*****d off about cos they are already advertising new posts) then i will be entitled to SMP............. BUT......... at ??117 per week im gonna struggle to bring up a baby alone.
Im scared im gonna be forced back into work as soon as shes born and miss out on the most important bonding stage in her life

I know they still have to give me my SMP but i wont have a job to go back to. Therefore technically i wont be employed. Can i still claim tax credits then???
And how far in advance can i apply for it?? xxx

To be honest i think they are planning to not extend my contract and are already empolying other in my place.
I know legally they cant do it but they will find ways around it. A new guy just started and has been given a contract til sept. I thought this extension should have automatically been offered to me since ive been here a year??
Theyre mucking me about bigstyle and its stressing me out.
I wish they'd realise that im gonna be a young single mum and id like a bit of notice as to whether or not im gonna have a job to come back to xx
If i am recieving SMP from work but dont have a job to go back to can i claim this???
Hope that helps
