Re: pregnant with 2nd child

I don't think that the name has anything bearing on the CB/ECS claim.
 
Re: pregnant with 2nd child

thanks clubman. glad it would not complicate things.
 
Re: pregnant with 2nd child

It should not - what matters is the child's PPSN and you should get this automatically on registration of the name as far a I know.

BigMama, there is no difficulty with your children having different surnames for CB or ECS.

My own niece and nephew fall into this category and there has never been any problems.
