Benefits help

I was wondering whether anybody would know how much I am entitled to and which benefits I am eligible for.

I have worked from the age of 16 and due to COVID I lost my previous job, I am 22 and currently 20 weeks pregnant.

My partner is working (minimum wage) and we have just moved into a new home. Any advice would be helpful :)

You can claim contributions based job seekers allowance if you have paid sufficient NI contributions over the past 2-3 years. You may be eligible for maternity allowance or you can look at universal credit which will be a joint claim and will be based on what your partner earns and what rent you pay. You may not be eligible until your baby is born.
