No, not at all.

In which case you will not be eligible for IBJSA as your partner's income is too high.

You will also not be eligible for IS.

It depends on how much the OP's partner gets from work and WTC.

Yes, you're quite right, WTC would possibly be subject to change when JSA(C) ceases.

I was giving a rough estimate based on current EI and TC.

But I still think there is something not right for OP to be getting full CTB with their current incomes as stated in first post.
Rough estimate would suggest they should be contributing approx £16-£20 pw of their own income on CT.

Contact your local CAB or local authority advice centre and ask them to check your benefit entitlement.

Hi
Newley Retired is correct you need to get an independant benefits check at the CAB or your local welfare rights. Do not rely on the JobCentre or Housing benefit Office to give you the correct info.

Your council tax benefit should increase if your income decreases, also ensure that the JCentre have included you mortgage costs when calculating Income Support, you may only get a tiny amount but it will passport you to other benefits.

It is also possible to requalify for JSA if you remain unemployed after this 26 week payment period. This is known as breaking yor claim and depends on the benefit year in which you claim and the tax years they use.

Tax credits may increase your payments this year but if you find employment you may risk an overpayment.

Benefits are complicated in the way they interact which is why should follow NR's advice, don't delay as backdating is very limited. Good luck.
