Hi 👋 I am new here! I’m looking for some advice please 🥰
If you already receive new style esa and in a support group then you have a baby and now on maternity leave
are you still entitled?

I have looked everywhere and can not find the answer ☹️
Thanks,

You can't claim Maternity Allowance and New style ESA at the same time because they are classed as overlapping benefits.Have you used a benefits calculator to check entitlement to Universal Credit? If you live with a partner you'll need to claim as a couple. If you have savings/capital of more than £16,000 you're excluded from claiming. If you claim both of those benefits together the ESA will be deducted in full from any UC entitlement.https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator/Intro/Home?cid=7194e782-92ce-40d1-9abd-969087385d0e

I can't give you advice on this topic but I just wanted to congratulate you on your news that you are pregnant. Do you know what's your due date.0

Hello @anxious_annie and congratulations from me too on your impending arrival. I hope all goes smoothly for you
I wondered if you'd had time to read Poppy's message and tried out a benefits calculator? Please let us know how you get on, or if there's anything you remain unclear about.
Best wishes to you and your family at this special time.0
