Assuming she's paid NI contributions then contributions based JSA of £60.50/week.
Anything else will be means tested. I believe that as her kids are over 18 & working they are totally disregarded, ie she gets nothing extra for them but their income is also ignored0 -
If she is entitled to Housing and/or Council Tax Benefit their income is not ignored. There would be a non dependant deduction taken off the amount she is awareded which is worked out on a sliding scale depending on their income. This website has details of the amounts.Assuming she's paid NI contributions then contributions based JSA of £60.50/week.
