    Hi

    My husband who was self-employed could not get any building work after the recession first hit last year so he applied for jobseekers allowance July 2009. He filled out all the necessary forms and gave all the information they asked for (which seemed neverending) and he was paid by the community welfare office in October weekly and has been ever since. So his claim never fully went through yet even though he attended an interview last January with a social wefare inspector. He is obviously owed back-pay from July to October of 2009 and he went to a local politician to try get this claim sorted and he told us he would put it to the minister for social and family affairs who was mary hannifan but has since changed. This morning we have received a letter asking my husband for a p45 from a guy he worked for last year for 6 weeks. My husband was paid cash in hand for this work. On the letter they state he must have this p45 in to them within 7 days and if he doesnt then all payment will stop with immediate effect. We are gobsmacked and very worried now as we have an 8 year old boy and another child on the way in 3 months. We are meant to be getting rent allowance payments from this week also. Can anyone shed any light of what my husband should do now as we are at a loss and dont know how to proceed. Thank you.

    Did your husband declare this income in his tax return? I hope he did because if he didn't he might be scuppered with the Revenue.

    If so, you can state that the work was done as an independent contractor and thus there was no P45 issued - he was not a PAYE employee.

    That should sort them out.
