Kellxx -Then it would be the case your friend to get an allowance if she was single (as I mentioned) but not in other cases where they are in live in relationship with a working partner/spouse. They get assistance if low income though. My friend did and health care card too.
Thats what i said, it would depend on what your partner earns.
Infact she was living with the father until after the child's birth..
Anyways its just a suggestion to those who are thinking about it to look into. If you can provide a doctor's note stating you are unfit for work, you dont have to look for work during your remaining months to obtain the allowance.. as both my friend and father have done.
