Hi guys,
just needing a bit of advice. I currently claim JSA but just found out I am pregnant. Will they still expect me to be seeking a job even when I have just given birth? Will the benefit I claim change and if so what will it be and how much? When will it change??
Any help greatly received :beer:

Well of course you will get Child support when you have the child so your benefit will change then. They can help with child care support as well when you are ready to work after the birth. Sorry don't know much else, probably best to just ask your advisor when you next go in.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170
