Hi, go and see Work and Income and see if you may qualify for any supplementary assistance now or in the future, like Temporary Additional Support or Accommodation Supplement. These are types of benefits that can 'top up' your income if you have a deficit. The website isn't very good at assessing eligibility to best to make an appointment with someone to discuss. You may also qualify for Working for Families tax credits- http://www.workingforfamilies.govt.nz/]]> Wed, 26 Nov 2014 21:48:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44404&PID=5876533&title=leaving-work-early-and-financial-assistance#5876533 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44404&PID=5876500&title=leaving-work-early-and-financial-assistance#5876500 Author: Cath165430

I'm after a bit of advice about extra financial assistance on top of the paid parental leave. I will have to leave work fairly early in my pregnancy as I'm a plumber, and I imagine crawling around stomach first, working at the top of ladders, and heavy lifting aren't ideal for the child! We aren't too poor currently, but I don't see how we would be able to live off just one income for such a long period. It is unlikely that I could do light duties as I work for a small business and there really wouldn't be enough "light" work available to justify me being there. Any up to date information or links would be great. Thanks.]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2014 14:51:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44404&PID=5876500&title=leaving-work-early-and-financial-assistance#5876500
