Worrired- I have lost my job due to been pregnant. Currently im soooo stressed, feel sick and im totally shattered. What can i do for money? My other half earns £18,000 a year which i think rules us out for income support. Stuck. Help, any advice??? 😓 😔
You can't be sacked for being pregnant this is unfair dismissal you can take this to a tribunal I wouldn't let them get away with it love xx
Usually 11 weeks before your due date you can get income support I would ring up the advice line they will let you know what you're entitled to x
im sure its later on when your pregnancy is more 'established' that you can start getting help such as income support. check gov.uk they usually have loads of advice x
I doubt you will be entitled to anything unfortunately. when my husband was made redundant he couldn't even get Job seekers because I was working. but at only 10 weeks you can get a other job without having to disclose your pregnancy to the employer. I know it's hard with only one person working. my husband was made redundant when I fell pregannt and I didn't earn enough to pay all our bills and pay for baby stuff. It will work out thou just try not to stress too much about it x
@catdean15 yes best do that, as I'm not married i support myself, maybe speak to someone who knows good luck z
Yes i told them i was pregnant. Im married and live with my hubby. Think i will get on to phone to see what i can get. Hate this 😢
@catdean15 also if your entitled to income support you can get that til your 24weeks pregnant, though you could get on jobseekers, maybe ring dhss office & find out.
@catdean15 did you tell them you where pregnant? If you did, I would get in touch with citizens advice ect and explain to them what has happened, are u married? Are you & your partner registered living together x
Well sort of. I work as a housekeeper and they call me when they need me (normally 3-4 times a week).... but the last 2 weeks ive had no phone call, i texted and they said they were covered. Not sacked i guess, more dropped. Money is running thin now.
Thank you everyone, means a lot Xx
