I know it's not really a thread to vent your spleen
But I will anyway.
Long story short: wife pregnant, owns and runs a small shop in a small rural town, earns fuck all (like very little) but enough to pay a few bills. Has a small earnings ticket which exempts you from class 2 NICs. Government now refuses to pay her *any* maternity benefit because she's behind on her class 2 NICs that they told her she was exempt from. So we're getting fuck all help. Brilliant eh? You earn fuck all and you get fuck all.
Edit: I should point out that you can be earning whatever you like and still get maternity benefit - like a household income of 90k and still get the full whack. Fucking cock trousers, the whole bunch of the civil service steaming pile of arse butter
