Hi.
I'm 15 weeks pregnant and live with my partner and I earn £1,100 a month, 40 hour a week job. For now though where I'm pregnant (Hyeperemesis) and haven't been there long enough for sick pay at the end of this month I'll have around £500, hopefully next month have my full wage.
I want to move out of this house, on my own into my own house without his help/particularly telling him, I'm too stressed during pregnancy and I want a safe secure environment to get ready to give birth/raise my child in.
Obviously I can't do that on my own salary so looked up benefits calculator and I would be entitled to have about £900 a month in working tax credit and housing benefit? Question is will they start giving it to me whilst I'm living with my partner? I don't know how I'd manage to afford to move out and then claim the benefit if you see what I mean? Any suggestions on what I could do?
Thank you in advance. Please do not judge, I'm trying to do my best in a difficult situation, I do work full time so I'm not just after benefits.
