I have just rang up to make a claim for income support because the job centre signed me off of JSA. Anyway, the bloke said I'm entitled to maternity allowance and income support? I have worked for 6 months within the last year so I think thats what makes me entitled to it, but the thing I'm confused about is how much will I get? Will I get income support too? And how much will I get?

I'm confused because nobody has mentioned maternity allowance to me before, just income support.
 
WOW :shock: That's alot more money than I expected! I hope he's right and I can get it, I've got an appointment on wednesday so will find out then.

Will I still get income support aswell? Or is it just one or the other? I was going to apply for that maternity grant but now I don't know if I'd be able to if I'm on maternity allowance?
 
i'm not sure about income support really. it always confuses me! I can't get it but i do get maternity allowance.

The surestart grant isn't affected by whether or not you get maternity allowance.
I can claim my surestart one im claiming tax credits (when baby is born) xx
