    My other halfs payments were stopped because they means tested him on my wage. We're not married but live together. If your boyfriend is on a high wage, chances are you will not be entitled to claim as they consider that wage enough to support both of you (thats what it was in my case).

    Not sure what payments you would be entitled to while pregnant though, probably best to speak to SW Officer about that.

    theres no need to tell them ur pregnant until the month ur drew,

    ur then exempt from signing for that month and two months after.
    thats what we were told by the office.
