I am going through this same battle myself - the best thing to d which I have just doen is get onto your local jobcentre - you can find their details on www.jobcentreplus.co.uk and then they shoudl be able to help you out. Can you still go back to Uni and then come February defer for a year?

Im not sure i want to miss the end of next year at uni (we dont finish til the end of june) and i dont want to get stressed too much!!lol

Me and my partner are not married, so im wondering if that affects anything?

Hi Jenny!

I know that u will be able to get Contibution based JSA. They will assess that on whatever your partner earns...

then when baby is born u will get Child Benefit and Tax Credits...
Contact your local Jobcentre for more info as I am not too sure axactly how much u will be entitled too..

Love Dani xx
