Just been approved for UC for me and my DP and my new baby however baby isn’t registered on there yet due to his birth not being registered yet (been told to wait 21 days because offices have not been taking appointments). We got an advance of £1,244. But won’t find out how much we get a month for 5 weeks. I’m just wondering if anyone else is getting it and what sort of figure we can expect to get?

Me - self employed, ending maternity this week
Partner - works in a supermarket

Thank you and sorry for posting here wasn’t sure which topic to post in.

I've had exactly that thrown at Me also. My OH hasn't been well with his long term condition for a year now, he's only just in remission, and still a moderate to high risk with the immunosuppressants he's on, so with CV about its not safe for him to work at the moment.

I had online 'friends'... Who reckoned I should go full time at work so I wasn't scrounging off the people like them Who are working for their money.

Like I said, it's usually the people who've never been in an unfortunate position with ill health to have to be on benefits that have a problem with it.

Safe to say I got rid of those 'friends'

As one of those "friends" its nice to know 🤷‍♀️
