SAHM on income support / job seekers?

Serene123 · May 26th, 2009, 10:42 AM

How does that work? I've seen it a few times on here but I assumed as I'm intentionally staying at home with Caitlyn I'm entitled to nothing as Rich works full-time? I know you shouldn't expect help, but I'm just wondering if we're entitled to anymore money.. Better to know what you're entitled to IYKWIM? As far as I'm aware we're only entitled to £10p/w tax credits. Not sure if that's much or little

We're not entitled to housing benefit or anything like that.

nah if u live with a partner and they r working u cant claim jack sh*t which isnt fair if u need the help. All u can get is tax credits as far as im aware.

Thank you x

Are u claiming tax credits now? I called tax credits up the other week as we still arent claiming it and seen as i wasnt working we would be getting up to an estimated £300 a month working and child credits a month and my oh earns a nice wage

Nah we're not claiming yet, saving for abit more for our house then we'll start claiming. Done two calculators and they say £10 a week x
