  • I think he just wants to know if they are entitled to any top ups on their household income.

    The answer is no.

    "Does anyone know their way around the system?" - Jesus! this would get me mad responding to this question!

    To emphasise OlderNotWisers point.
    At this salary level, if you are living together, you are not entitled to income based JSA, at all.

    Any JSA you have been paid will need to be repaid, from the time you moved in, if she has been constantly in work.

    If you delay reporting that you're living together, in addition to needing to repay the money paid, any future claim you make may be impacted, and you may be prosecuted for benefit fraud.

    we haven't moved in together yet but we know about who to inform when we do

    I presume the OP has gone to the tax office to tell them that he doesn;t want the £212 a month anymore..................... <rolls eyes>

    Although he never actually stated if they live together permanently.


    we are not currently living together so no need to inform jsa just yet

  • It would be worth looking at working tax credits too maybe, there is an online calculator for that
