How much support is a single mother entitled to from the government?
Answer:
As far as I know, she'd be entitled to have her rent paid (to a certain amount), roughly £50 per week in income support if she's not working, About £80 per week in tax credits & about £15-20 per week in Child benefit. Take no heed of the British hitlers down below. If they called their patriotic British plunderers back from all over the world, the UK economy would sink within a week.
uh, well she is "enititled" to nothing. she should have kept her darn legs closed. But you could always get on welfare! As far as "Enititled" to anything--- she is NOT!
I don't know, but I think its sad we've gotten to the point where a Mother feels she is owed something from the government. Glad to see America isn't the only place with that kind of backward logic.
thrupence ha'penny per calender month, which is way too much
None!! She SHOULD be entitled to zip zero nothing. She has lived in the UK for 4 years. She needs to go home or HERE is a brilliant idea............... she should have gotten married so that the baby has a father and she has a husband who loves her and supports her. Instead of giving it up to a dead beat who does not respect her, cherish her or want her.
THIS is what happens when you have sex out of marriage. The kid gets a disposable Father and a Mother who is never going to be around because she will have or work her butt off to support herself and her child.
Due to our Pathetic shambles of a Government she will be entitled to everything, house, benefits the works!! It sounds as though she already had-had out system worked out to suit her needs.
Depends on the type of work permit she has, but it is likely to be very minor I'm afraid. She may get some statutory pregnancy pay.
contact the dwp (department for work and pensions) and they will tell you. each case is different. if she has indefinite leave to remain in the UK then she should be entitled (yes entitled if she has paid tax) to help. if she is not eligible for help then they should give you some phone numbers or addresses of people who can help. good luck.
WHAT??? ANOTHER DAMNED ANCHOR BABY, when the hell will the stupid tax payers say enough??????????????////
I'm sorry - but really - I do not pay my exhorbitant taxes to keep foreign single mothers in luxury. She should return to her home and get support there.
Your friend is entitled to nothing, from the tax-payers in this country. She should have acted more responsibly in the first place, and not had un-protected sex with the possibility of pregnancy, if she was not in a financially secure position where she could afford to have a child. Why should I have to pay to feed and clothe her child? When you receive your hard earned wages every week, how would you feel if when you got home you had to go straight into your neighbours` house and give her half of your wages, so she could stay at home and have babies from men who didn`t even care enough to finance them him-self. That is what we are all doing every week, but because WE don`t have to actually give money from OUR pocket, we don`t think of it in that way. Tell your friend to go back to her family and her country, and see if they will look after her. The tax-payers are sick to death with picking up the `tab` for young irresponsible women. I would like lots of children, but ( even with a good job) I can`t afford it, so I do not bring fatherless children into this world. For other people to support.
My Grandmother would have told these women to tell their men to `tie a knot in it`
I do not pay income tax to support a woman from overseas. To come to the UK and milk the benefits system. I work 6 nights a week to support myself and partner and cannot get benefits for anything. Whilst paying 33% taxation. For UK citizens OK but fed up with supporting unmarried mothers from abroad
I agree with some of your extra comments regarding immigrants and attitudes toward them.
At the same time, I understand the concern about immigration at wholesale levels. My sister in law's work involved immigrants from Eastern Euro countries. A few were nice, but the majority were horrid.
As far as benefits, I would help her call local government and ask directly. I doubt there will be all that much for her, however.
Good luck,

Take a cheap flight back to Bulgaria. Last time I was there, it seemed quite civilised. But then, I wasn't looking to cream their government or taxpayers.
I'm sorry, but there's an awful lot of people from elsewhere and one of the first thing's is How much can I get?.
The thing is, and that goes for the a lot of people from Britain as well. If there is NO stable relationship where the partner would help support a child then there should be no children and that's that.
With all the different types of contraception these days there is no excuse for having a mistake. Unfortunately having a child can often is seen by some people as a meal ticket for the next 16-18 years. Yes, I know some people will view what I say as horrible, but there are people out there who do want a meal ticket in life... Yes, I do have children (10 & 6) the difference is I am married and we didn't have children until my wife and I decided we could afford it. We didn't think how much will we get from Government?
Let the man that she allowed to get her pregnant pay he,not the government,had sex with her.Pregnancy is a condition not an illness.Its something she had a huge part in.tell her to get a job or make the father(if she knows who he is ) pay for the child.Why do women that have babies they cant afford expect someone else to pay for it ? In any country !
Your single mother will probably end up better off
than a lot of working people paying there taxes for her and her like
I have found some links that can give you some information to read and info on who to call for help.
I think it really depends on what type of visa she came in on and what is stamped on her passport..eg: no public funds etc..
Here are the links: Public Funds: http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/applyin...
Department of Health for overseas visitors: http://www.dh.gov.uk/policyandguidance/i...
and: http://www.dh.gov.uk/policyandguidance/i...
Immigration rules on public funds etc: http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/front?...
I would suggest that she should talk to someone in immigration and the Health department.
There are different rules for each case/visa holders.
What a bloody cheek, in this country if you don't want to get pregnant you wont get pregnant, send her back to Bulgaria, let her people look after her, yet another f*cking blood sucker, I see she has pulled the wool over your eyes, get real and stop defending another bloody immigrant benefit seeker.
I'm amazed that you are surprised at the aggro your question has raised. The country is sick and tired of foreigners coming here and expecting the government to pick up the tab for their children. What really hacks me off are those women that just come here to have their babies and hike back to their own country when they are born, and I am not talking about commonwealth women either.
