Well I know I can claim now but I'm not sure where to do it and when.

We are expecting to move within the next 2/3 weeks but it's to a different part of the country.
Now, do I hand the form in now where we are currently living or wait till we have moved?
I am 25 weeks pg atm.

TIA.

the job centre site says

Claim as soon as you can after you have been pregnant for 26 weeks.

so, i would wait until you've moved

Thanks

Well I'll be 26 weeks on Sunday.

Maybe I should wait then.
