Housing

Hi all! I’m a single mum and currently living with my parents, however I want to move out and don’t know what I’m entitled to help wise as I’m currently out of work due to Maternity leave I got let go from my previous job when I was pregnant, because I was pregnant so have been unable to get maternity allowance. My LG is nearly 8months old and want to get back up onto my feet and live in my own place. Picture for interaction

@Alison thank you so much I’ve just applied on Under 1 roof so hopefully bit of luck will come my way x

I’m sorry you’re going through this Elle. I would contact ACAS for advice. Do you have any evidence you worked there? Contract? Letters? Uniform? Either way I would suggest it’s worth a discussion. Working cash in hand is a risky one because you’re not always covered by the same employment rights however pregnancy discrimination is against the law and you might be able to argue something if you have any evidence. In terms of housing as a single parent with a new baby you’ll be classed as high priority through your local council…few people have also mentioned Under One Roof which I’ve heard good things about in the St Helens/Warrington area x

@Jay I can’t. As there is no room in my family home, and I don’t get on with my family.
