My wife is due to get her state pension later this year - I assume the DWP will adjust our joint income based JSA by the same amount of income ?
Will the " single " persons JSA still be payable or will it be just a reduction accross the board ?

When your wife reaches state retirement age you will be entitled to Pension Credit, your wife will have to make the initial claim, you may want to continue signing on for your NI stamp which will include continuing with Jobseekers agreement.
Your joint income allowance will rise to £202.40 at this years rate compared to £102.75 for couples under state pension age.Forums can be/are a good guide to entitlement and it is good practice to back it up with clarification from the relevant department/specialist with written confirmation to safeguard yourself.0 -
