Are you in Aus??
While you are pregnant and not working you may be entitled to newstart or unemployment benefit. Not 100% sure about that one though.
After bubs is born you would be entitled to the full benefit, family tax benefit part a & b and rent assitance I would say, if you are not earning any money from employment. This is if you and b/f are claiming as a couple. If you claim as a single parent or something and they know you live together you will be fined heavily. better off claiming as a couple. You would also get the $4000 maternity allowance upon the baby's birth. (don't waste it!!!) plus the $200 or so imunisation allowance once baby has had all imunisations and 18mths old. Plus $600 per child after tax time when ATO receives your tax return (usually sept/oct paid out).
It is quite complicated and you should ring 13 6150 to get clearer info.
Best of luck

First of all dont listen to the negative answers on here they havent read your question properly. As you havent work for 6 months solid. You can get income based jobseekers or income support as both of you dont work!! Help with rent/ct, you will also get help with sure start grant of £500 which does not have to be paid back. free milk, fruit and veg vouchers, free prescriptions, eye tests, e.t.c are you thinking about going back to work afterwards? ask your employer to see if they can keep the job open. why cant your boyfriend get a job is he ill? disabled? when the baby is born you can apply for child benefit, child tax credit but if you go back to work you can claim for working tax credit. I praise you as your working and not sponging of the tax payers you have contributed to the national tax hence your national insurance stamps. Now in your difficult time you should be allowed to get a little help back then go back to work and start the cycle again. so ignore all the nasty vicious answers. good luck

you should be able to claim working tax credit, maternity benefit and something else it totals about £300 a month i think dont know never claimed it but i have a friend that did and when she came off maternity and got a job she got a lump sum of £500 just because she started work then working tax credits tops her wage up. job centre is best place to ask and ignore these arseholes slating you its good that you can ask for advice.
hope this helps.

you are entitled to a few things best thing to do is ask your midwife she will be able to help you find out what your entitled too, dont listen to the people on here being nasty, fair enough its there opinion but its not nice, you are entitled to things just as much as everyone else, im 34 weeks pregnant and have depression so i dont work anyway, plus my ex boyfriend cant be bothered with my baby so he can get lost, he wont support his child, hes a alcoholic and a waste of space, i did use contraception but it split, foreigners get all the help they need lots of money a free house and they get it as soon as they get here, hardly any of them work and scronge off of our government, so why shouldnt we get what were entitled too. im living with my mum as i dont want a council flat, i couldnt live alone, even if i did want one theres a huge waiting list my friend had her baby and she was waiting 5 years just for a little flat for her and her bf and baby. gd luck. xx and dont let people on her upset you, some people can be very nasty

I think you should have thought about this 21 weeks ago. Being young is no excuse for being stupid. There are so many forms of contraceptions now, and at least your BF should have been wearing a condom, not just for "not getting pregnant" but also for you both not getting diseases. Do you work now ?, if not (which I suppose will be the answer), then you will carry on getting your dole money (as well as your boyfriends money from jobseekers), and when your baby comes along you will probably get milk stamps, and child allowance, I think thats about it. Both your parents will probably help you out, although your BF could always get himself a job and pay towards you and the kid

At 29 weeks you can go on income support if you are not living with your parents and a £500 sure start maternity grant.
You can also apply for healthy start milk, fruit and veg tokens.
Congrats btw!!

u can claim housing benefit if u r getting maternity allowance get down ur local service centre and speak to someone. As soon as u get ur maternity allowance bring the document in. I think u should apply for housing benefit already if u havent done so and they will backdate. it takes about 2-3 wks for jsa to be processed. contact community legal advice ... its a free service. google it u should apply for the health in pregnancy grant 190 and apply for the £500 maternity grant u r entitled to both its alot of hassle with benefits

dont listern to all these people been nasty to you, its different when its the other way around, and they become ill, cant work and need benerfits for a while. my advise is to go down to job seekers and they will help you with everything. good luck with your pregnancy and so on. but try and get your boyfriend to find a job, it will help you and your baby so much.

i dont know the facts but advice you to contact the cab or the job centre to direct you in the right direction.Ignore the ones who put you down as they may one day need help in a situation with benefits.wish you all the best with your pregnancy.
