    Hi
    I posted something similar recently
    My Gf is on job seekers and when she moved in with me they wanted my pay slip, if I earn over a certain amount will they not give her anything?
    How can I calculate this? If she wasn't getting anything then we'd be near broke

    PM me with your gross earnings pw and number of days worked and I will give you an estimate of what she will receive or not receive. Does your gf work? If she does then her earnings will be assessed as well.

    Thanks for the reply
    Spoke to citizens information about it today, because I earn "so much" she would get nothing, so after paying rent, gas electricity and all the rest of that I would have less than 200 a week for the two of us, better off packin up the job and signing on then we would have double that

    No you wouldn't, you would have 188 and 124 per week for both of you.
