I was wondering if anyone knows..how many hours a week or how much can you earn weekly before if affects your benefits...tax credits,child benefit etc??
I will be going on maternity leave in October, and continuing to work as a carer for my mum, but recieving smp from a different employer. I know i can work for my mum as i have been working with her during the 15th week before im due etc. But i want to know how many hours or how much i can earn a week without affecting the benefits we will recieve as a family, so that we can work out how many hours i can do etc.

Thanks

im not sure to be honest but I know when I was pregnant with my daughter I spoke to someone at the local job centre who helped me work out how many hours I could work to be better off and it was really helpful, so maybe try job center x

my partner works 16 hours and over to be able to get working tax, we also get child benefit and child tax hope that helps
