    It will depend on your husbands earnings. The first thing you need to do is pop your postcode into this link here.

    If your area is a full Universal Credit area then it will be this you would have to claim.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
