    Default benefits advice needed

    Hi.I was wondering if anyone could advise me as the job centre werent much help.I was made redundanticon 3 months ago and claim contributionicon based jsa of 60.50 a week. My partner was on maternity pay but her employer went into liquidation so she now recieves nothing apart from child benefit and some child tax credit.What should she do? the job centre said to put her on my jsa which would boost it up by 30ish pound a week.She cant work as she is looking after our baby so do we just accept we must live on substantially less money now and hope I find a new job soon or is there something else she can claim? we do get hb/ctb as well that pays most of our rent.thanks for any advice guys and gals.x

    Under the circumstances you have described, i could not say if there will be any other benefits available to you.

    However i would advise that you make sure you have informed Tax Credits of the correct circumstances. Depending what details you have on your award you may find you are entitled to more Childs Tax Credit if you have not advised them on Current Year (2009/10 Tax Year) figures. If you haven't gave them CY estimates then i suggest calling them, advising them on how much you estimate your JSA at for this year and they will calculate your current award on these figures. Be warned though, if you under estimate by too much it may create an Over Payment and i would not like this to happen.

    As long as you sit down and work through the figures correctly, you may find your CTC will increase.

    Hope this helps.

    I would ask the CPN for help with this, also try social services and the Salvation Army.
