:(just received a letter from dwp today stating tht my claim as been suspended coz my wife may be earning too much money. she currently is contracted to 16 hours a week but has been working overtime to help ends meet. if i'm reading things correctly if my wife earns more thn £105 per week i wont be entitled to contribution based jsa. we currently have a mortgage which we are struggling to meet and other bills, iam at my wits end at the moment and wondering if anyone as any advice.

Contribution based JSA is not dependent on the household income (except for certain payments like pensions). It's only income based JSA that can be affected by household income.

 

If it is contribution based JSA that you are receiving I would contact them straight away and point this out to them.

 

How long have you been claiming?

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.

What your wife earns doesn't come into it with conts based JSA. They certainly shouldn't be suspending your claim on the basis of her earnings until your contributions have exhausted.

i spoke to someone at dwp who seem to think i'm claiming contribution based, but she also says there seems to be something about income based as well coz ive been filling out a b7 when ive been signing on. they say its been suspended coz i didnt produce my wife's last wage slip when i signed on. i informed them that i didnt have it because i'd sent it off to the nhs to see if i could get any help with dental costs. they just said that they need the wage slip and were'nt very helpful at all!:sad:
