    She will be getting her maternity pay. Is she a single parent? If no then no she will not be entitled to income support once her maternity pay comes to an end. She will be entitled to housing benefit and council tax benefit depending on her and her partners income. Look up her LHA rate for a 2 bedroom house and thats the max they will pay depending on income
