I amm pregnant - i need advice on ESA
Comments
-
Have you read that I have worked for 10 years and paid my taxes whilst claiming no benefits. d.
why do you keep bringing this up? It has no relevance whether you have worked 10 years or 100 years. Just because you have worked 10 years it doesnt automatically make you eligible for extra top up's to your benefits.
In all honesty i dont get the impression you want to go back to work at all .I get the impression you have said that purely to appease people. It is OK to be a SAHM, but why should the rest of us pay? Your OH works.Perhaps he can do overtime to top up your income.
I also dont genuinely see HOW you can go back to work given that you cant afford childcare currently. Will your OH cut back on hours? so that you can go to work also?
I am not one to jump on someone but your initial OP really comes across like you are just after extra cash.

The op is certain to be a Willber/Dipsy relative....can't wait for the next one, they are getting more entertaining each time.
The trouble is Poppie he was on the disability forum yesterday as dipsy & blopipe and there are good people there giving genuine posters valuable advice. Read what happens.Damn it, the mods have once again removed him and removed a raft of my posts in the process. Sigh.
I must admit when dipsy called me a stalker and a perv I had a good laugh :rotfl:0 -

I am not sure why you ask if you can get ESA after the birth of your baby, being pregnant and having a baby does not make you unfit for work.
You question others educational ability but if you are educated surely you would be able to find out the answers to your questions by searching online.
Hello Wabbitwabbit,
I love your user name!!
I have read that pregnant women can apply for esa and I did think those on esa would have some help getting back to work. Yes , wabbitwabbit , I will do more searches online.:cool2:0 -
I only referenced about to school to two people because one person said they could not understand what I was saying when it was pretty clear. And the other seemed like he was responding after not reading all the posts. All my posts are just explaining and repeating and responding to some particular posts. Its is good that you read english. Try understanding it if you are not sure that "its reciprocated." All the best.
And once again you resort to insults. Wonderful. :T
(Should have been "it's reciprocated", incidentally.)
Every poster that responded read and understood your initial post - you just spat bile back at those who didn't go "oh, you're pregnant how wonderful, here's how to get some taxpayers' money".
As I have stated before - unless you have major issues in late stage pregnancy you cannot claim ESA. It's a lifestyle choice, not an illness. I hope that is clear and concise enough for you.

They lost me when they kept banging on about single mothers who don't want to work....
How about mothers with partners who don't want to work and want to claim benefits to sit at home?
I'm still waiting for details of ALL the help that single mothers get to help them back to work...a friend of mine is a single mum of 5, her husband was killed in an accident, she did'nt get a gold plated pen to write applications out, she got off her backside and found her own job.0 -

It is so sad that you think like this. When you do not know me and you make such judgements...i came on here for information and advice with the confidence that people will inspire me and point me to the right direction. This forum does not need such comments like yours. I am adding that I have worked so that people are aware that I have paid taxes and I am sure in your lifetime you have or would be on some benefit whether or not you have paid taxes.0 -

Trouble is we can get suspicious of new posters, have a few lightbulb moments:rotfl:
When you called me scary I took it as a compliment :rotfl:0 -
