Looks like I might need benefits

My goals are not to hit benefits at all if I can help it, just need to know what position we will be in if this does happen, the company I work for work alot within the public section and they have stopped spending at the moment until budgets / funding / cuts are all announced.

I have plenty of other options to try and examing before benefits - I havent been out of work since leaving uni 15 years ago, which is a fair amount of time, so not sure how / what / when / why / how the benefits system works these days. So I was just exploring plan F as the missus tends to have a very negative view of things, so this is worse case.

So no need for anyone to blow a gasket and I am sure it will all resolve given time - one way or another.

I might just go self employee and stopping paying tax at all (joke!!) or become a footballer, they get good money for doing very little dont they?

Wouldn't the family be entitled to wtc as the mum is working 20 hours per week, or is she earning too much?
