JSA whilst pregnant.

I seem to be struggling to find any info on how long you can claim JSA for? I have been made redundant and have been claiming contribution JSA for 4 weeks now, I am 23 weeks pregnant and not entitled to Income Support. I will be getting Maternity Allowance from 40 weeks pregnant but as long as I am able to work and actively looking with no success can I claim JSA until my due date?

If I recall correctly you cannot claim both MA and JSA, so once at 40 weeks pregnant you will claim MA.0
