Hi ladies!
I really hope some of you can give me some positive advice on my current situation.
My daughter was sadly born still full term 9 months ago and I've found it hard to return to work. Currently I am looking for a new job due to the great difficulty of dealing with customers that ask questions about how my baby is ect... 2 months ago I also suffered a silent miscarriage which someone made customers aware of also...
I'm not ready to return to work, personally it's just the job I was working at before the loss of my daughter. I would love to be working again! Now, this month I got my last SMP payment. £267 which remained. Now as anyone would know this isn't enough to live off of... I've got no gas and on my emergency on electric. I don't know if I am entitled to any other benefits now and my anxiety is so high I don't even think I can manage to go out to ask anyone. I literally bought what I could to get through meal wise but that's only lasted so long... just wanted to know if anybody has been in a similar situation and what I am entitled to.

Thanks in advance xx

I just wanted to say so sorry tor your loss and what you have suffered. The PP has sent some great links which I can't add to. I just wanted to suggest that if you do proceed to handing in your notice you may have accrued holidays that would give you a final payment from work. Good luck and take care
