Resolved Question

Job seekers question?

I have just recently been thrown out of my boyfriends house by his mother and I am 26 weeks pregnant, I had a job full time. I was asked to leave the day after and was basically given no time to find a place so I had to move back to my parents as I had to family down there (40 miles away) and had to leave my job as I couldn't drive or being pregnant it isn't good to travel that far everyday. The day after I called my company I worked for and asked if they could transfer me, but a week later they said the branch in preston have no vacancies.

I had no choice but to go onto jsa, because I had to leave my job due to circumstances I had to fill in an extra form in at my jsa interview telling the situation as to why I left my job.

A week later I received a letter saying my claim was processed and I would get money in every 2 weeks

The job CENTRE sent me a letter regarding the statement over me leaving the job asking me to give them more information as to what dates I was thrown out of the house by my boyfriends mum and what date did I ask Sainsbury's for a transfer.

Im worried now they will stop my claim even though I had no choice to leave :( I did ring up a decision maker and explained why I had to leave and she said everything will be fine but im still worried

it should be ok it just the job centre double checking what you have said and wrote in your statement so they can check with your last job,worse that they can do is pay you at a reduced amount for a few weeks but you only have a few weeks then you can transfer over to income support and sign off jsa hope this helped to ease your worry and good luck with baby.

• Don't tell them about the mum problem, just tell them you moved back home cause you are pregnant and there was no job for your from your company in the area you moved back to, if the boyfriend is supporting you they wont give you benefit, when baby is born I think it is £20 you can get for maintenance from him
• I'm not 100% sure on all of the legalities but just for some support and friendly advice, I wouldn't worry too much. As long as you're unemployed or working less than 16 hours weekly, seeking a job and don't have any money stashed away that you haven't told the Jobcentre about, I doubt anything will affect your claim. It does however sound like you were dismissed on unfair grounds, why were you thrown out of your job exactly? Because you couldn't make the commute? I think you should either get back in touch with your employer and discuss maternity leave with them or ring up an employment rights agency and explain your circumstances to them.
  
  As for your boyfriend, he doesn't sound like he cared enough to do anything about this? Jobcentre can also help you with other benefits you may be entitled to such as housing benefit and can help you get on track with finding some accommodation. Hope this helped love, good luck and God bless with your pregnancy,
