Good day!
In 2016, I got married, and since that year, I have stopped receiving benefits for single mothers. The child is not adopted by the husband. But before, I received a fixed amount of UAH 300, and in 17 they began to take family income (both mine and my husband's) for calculation. For 7 years now, I have not received anything for the child, as we have always worked. I wanted to ask if the payment is really calculated based on family income? Thank you.
