I have been on Jobseekers contributory based allowance since march 2010. I signed this week and was told my payments would end at the end of this month! Great!! NOT!! I apparently am not entitled to anything else because I have a husband who works 30 hours a week- he only gets 10K a year because he is training to be a teaching assistant. I cant work because we have a 11month old son who we cant afford to put in nursery. How can they just stop the payments if that is all we are living on- we are barely scraping by! We rent a flat and that £600 pcm and bills on top of that and food etc- how can I really go back to work without working just to pay for childcare- so effectively paying to be away from my son! Its F**** up! How do these other people who are 'housed' keep getting benefits for doing !!!!!! all when my husband works and we get kicked in the gutter! Am I missing something? Am I entitled to anything- please help me if you know!

I don't think we'll see the OP again.;)0
