FIS on maternity leave.

ma88 · 2017-03-15 23:00:21

Hello, We are a young family that did got our lovely child a month ago. Just was wondering if family income support can be claimed by me, as a the father in full time work, getting min. hourly rate on a 40h/w., while the mother is on maternity leave! Does maternity benefit count as income? Or as "benefit". Thank you.
