Answer: Hello.

It can take up to 6 weeks to process your claim, but will be back dated to the date you first claimed, or the date of the baby’s birth if you have claimed within 3 months.

You will get 20.96 per week, (assuming your household income is in total between the 35K stated and less than 52K p.a) this is made up of the Basic element and baby element. Your partner’s earnings are too high to qualify for any additional amount. The Baby element ends when your wee one turns 1 after which you will only get the basic element of 545 per year or 10.48 per week. You will get your child benefit of 18.80 per week on top of Tax Credits

Your friend should indeed apply for child tax credits as well as JSA, JSA used to pay for children now anyone with a child must Claim Tax Credits for the child. She will get Basic plus baby plus child elements which works out at 61.05 for the first year and 50.57 there after. (they should also be claiming housing benefit (if they rent) and council tax benefit)

Lastly if anyone tells you the sleepless nights get easier they are lying..enjoy the wee one they just get better and better
