Advice Needed and Appreciated

Dolmenangel

I'm considering leaving my Job and returning to education this year. My question is would my husband who is on a CE Scheme at the moment be able to claim for me & the kids?? he is due to finish on the scheme in August which means if he doesn't get a job he will be claiming Jobseekers. I'm really not happy in my Job and really cant see myself sticking with it much longer as it's really stressing me out and I have no prospect of promotion. I have put off returning to college for some time now as I feel i should be grateful to have a job when so many haven't. Im just worried about the financial aspect of my decision. Thank in advance

Hey, if you ring Citizen's advice they can give you the fine details, but going on my own experience, if you are on a low wage he will already be receiving a payment for you (I think it's about e120) if you are unemployed too he will receive an additional e20 per week. That's all. I was unemployed during the summer (pre-school teacher) and that's all we got. Hope this helps and as I said just check with Citizen's Advice they can give you more detailed info in case your situation is different than mine.
