JSA or Income Support

Im not sure which one I should be applying for. I've just had my hours at work reduced to 12 per week term time only after telling them I was pregnant (my reduction inhours is due to budget cuts apparently).

My DP doesn't work, he's at home with our 2 year old.

Im so confused whether I should apply for JSA or Income Support. I've been looking on the directgov website but can't work out which one I need to apply for.

Any ideas? Its half term next week so i'll have no income coming in :(

  • I should point out that DP is looking for work and if he finds something then we'd do a role swap and i'd still work my reduced hours.
