HB and R2R with Maternity Allowance
Mon 06-Jul-09 03:10 PM

My A8 national client has left employment and is claiming JSA - should be OK as has done more than 1 year under WRS.
She will be entitled to MA from September - but when she switches from JSA to this, she will lose the R2R for HB purposes as far as I can see even though she will get MA. Is there any way round this?

No... had a similar case... however I did get continuous HB as no-one can force her to apply for MA so she continued claiming JSA....

argued with JSA that they could not stop a pregnant female from working or seeking work as this would be discrimination.
