U/C Question
I'm a SAHM we do not claim benefits currently, i worked and then claimed U/C for the first 2 years of my sons life,I have one child and we are now expecting our second, for the first 2 years of a child's life the "main parent" can receive U/C without having to look for work etc.. does anyone know if I am able to claim this once my second child is born and when the 2 years is up, sign off from receiving assistance and resume being a sahm? Is that a thing that's allowed seeing as I'm a sahm mum and unemployed already?

They take the youngest child’s age into consideration once you’ve declared them on UC. If you’re not in receipt of UC now and reclaim again there’s a chance you’ll be asked about earnings/unemployment between the period you weren’t claiming. Your partners earnings will be taken into account and any savings you have.

You can yes, you may not get a lot depending on rent/mortgage, partners wages, your SMP etc x
