Benefits after getting a job

cfnc

Hi,

My husband is on IBJSA, and has been since 16th Feb 2009, he has just been told he has got a job which starts 1st July, We have just had the forms through for Mortgage interest which should be back dated to middle of May and we get full council tax benefit.

My question is do all these benefits stop on the 30th June? As if this is the case we need to work out what we are going to do as we will not have any money until the end of July.

Thanks for any help,

Kirsty

Yes they will, your partner will need to continue to search for temp work up until the end of June as well.

I don't think he's been unemployed long enough to qualify for the Job Grant etc (that's 26 weeks).

It's not ideal but he should be able to get a couple of crisis loans to help tide you over until his first wages. It's called an alignment to wages.

Can his employer offer any help during the first month ? Some offer an advance which is recovered from the first wages.
