Alfiya Musa will be homeless from today after her landlords ordered her to leave her home in Whitmore Way, Basildon.
The 26-year-old gave birth last month three months prematurely as she had to have an emergency C-section.
Now, her son is suffering from poor lungs and she fears he will just get worse with nowhere to stay.Where is this boon to the British economy from?
Ms Mufa, who is originally from Bulgaria but has lived in Basildon for a year, sill has a job as an agency worker but fears for her son’s welfare.A job that doesn't pay well enough for her to be here without recourse to the public purse?
She said: “My landlords have been telling me for a while that they did not want a child in the house.
“The house is old and they need to do a lot of work, which involves turning the gas and water off, so a child can’t live there.
“They gave me notice and I was working to find somewhere to go, but I had my son three months early which left me no time to find anywhere.
“I have been to the charities to try and help, but they don’t have capacity.
“When I went to the council, they said I was not eligible for them to re-house me, even though I’m on universal credit.”Well, thank the Lord for th...
Oh, wait!
A spokesman for the council said: “We have not issued a decision that the housing applicant (Ms. Musa) is ineligible for assistance.
“However, we have been continuing our ongoing enquiries into the matter.
“The applicant has an appointment with our Housing Solutions Team today to discuss her situation further, when we will determine whether we have any ongoing duties towards her.”Can the answer please be 'No'..?

Why not deport her to Bulgaria and anyone else from the EU freeloading on benefits in the UK?
I'm happy to believe that immigrants, as a whole, make a nett positive contribution to our economy, but if we got rid of the freeloaders, the nett contribution would be so much more, wouldn't it?
The deal would be that the EU could return any Brits on benefits over there. I suspect that we'd show a profit on the exchange.
Something is missing from this story. Rhymes with 'father'. There are presumably 4 people with the word 'grand' in their names too who could be stepping up to help.
Whatever you think of the subject of the piece, evicting someone for having a child makes you a class A1 arsehole. And having a 3 month preemie is absolutely no bundle of laughs.
"Why not deport her to Bulgaria and anyone else from the EU freeloading on benefits in the UK?"
Because Brexit hasn't really happened. Yet...
"...but if we got rid of the freeloaders, the nett contribution would be so much more, wouldn't it?"
Indeed so. It's almost as if some jobs actually DEPEND on those freeloaders, though.

Why? It's your property, your rules.
