I am talking of the pension plus the minimum of earnings as above. I find it hard to believe that it would, although if anything can happen, it will!

I do not mind doing a part time job but full time would be difficult as it would reduce the time i have to try and build up my true profession once more.

I cannot understand the logic or reasoning as to why they can't take into account benefits which they know we shall be entitled to once she is actually here. Maybe my intelligence doesn't stretch far enough to understand!

I dont see a problem with housing benifit John as with your child you would be able to seek two bed accomadation

On council tax you would proberbly have to find the £20 a month average difference between a single occupant and multipul as you get a 25% discount for being single in a property of course as your income rises those benifits decrease with a child you might find tax credits more usefull you can find out on line what your entitlement is on there website here
