It is not the income support money which I want it is the housing benefit and council tax benefit is it at all possible as Im single, pregnant and got a mortgage to pay every month til I get on my feet and £103 is not enough to cover the mortgage alone.
thanks

no father ran away and is refusing to pay even though he earns plenty.

Not income support as you are getting maternity pay. You should get housing and council tax benefit and if you are on leave from your job then working tax credit. When your baby arrives you should get child tax credit and child benefit. If your income is low then you should get sure start maternity grant. I suggest an appointment at your local job centre they will give you the forms you need!http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/index.htm
Sorry to hear about the father. I went through the same kinda thing. You will come out the otherside a much stronger person.

No you wont get any help especially not for housing benefit or Council tax they will say if you have enough money for a house you wont need it and they will then class it as savings and wont help you at all.

Get in touch with your local benefits office and explain your situation they will be able to tell you what benefits you are entitled to.

I agree with It girl. Only thing is though, to get the SureStart grant you need to live in SureStart designated area.
