Hiya. I'm starting a fully funded PhD (~£14k pa) in October. Just to give a brief overview, I'm currently living with my partner and we are expecting our first baby around the start of October. Does anyone know whether you can claim any help from the government? I don't think I can claim working tax credits as it's education and my partner is looking to be a stay at home mum - at least for the majority of the first year. Many thanks.
