I'm 23 graduated from university in June, had difficulty finding work. Manged to get my self an internship which I have been doing for the past 10 weeks, its funded through the university and I have 2-3 weeks left.
I have recently found out Im pregnant and I have no idea what I will be entitled to. My bf works full time and comes out with about 1300-1500 a month after tax.
I have been struggling getting work anyway since university and will obviously struggle even more now Im pregnant. I therefore dont know what I am entitled to or the best thing to do is.
From what I have read im not even eligible for a maternity allowance and If im right I wont be for the sure start grant.
Any help or advice would be helpful, thank you

Basics would include Cild Benefit and Working Tax credits.
Speak to your local employment and housing office for individual advice. Get used to being at home for a bit as this may be your best (financial) option.
