Confused about benefits.

[sarahmc89]

I lost my job just before we found out I was pregnant, due to being off sick. That was back in April/May. I've been trying to apply for jobseekers but can't do that as my boyfriend works full time just now. He's going back to uni at the end of this month and I dunno if i'd still be able to claim anything as I am then going to be about 22 weeks pregnant. Just wondering if anyone knows what to do/claim etc :/ I have been trying to get a job but I now have a bump and when they notice that they make up some excuse not to hire me.

All the time he's working full time you'll find it hard to get anything, although there is a contribution based JSA which you may be entitled to. However, when he goes to Uni you should be able to claim either JSA or Income Support Then when your LO arrives you'll be able to get Child Tax Credits as well xx
