UK Government support for single mums
Hello - I’m a first time single mum and I’m not sure how to go about getting support for me and baby? Me and my partner split up and he’s moved out of the flat so I have to pay that alone and I’m pregnant. I’m not sure what type of help I’d be entitled to without a job (recently made redundant) and pregnant?
Any advice would be much appreciated 🩷🩷
