Hello!
I am new to this forum and I’m looking to see if anyone can help me with this. I am currently on LCWRA and PIP, and work 11.5 hours a week. I am thinking of having a child in the future. I would have help from my parents and partner in raising the child, as my disabilities will makes this difficult to do on my own. My partner works full time. I’d like to keep my job and hours that I do. Would I get help with childcare costs if for 3 mornings in nursery while I worked? My partner is on less than £2000 before tax and I’m on £120 a week in my job.
