    He should get JSA - that's if he's actively seeking work?

    I did ask about this earlier but got no answer. ;)

    You only get contribution based for 6 months so would have run out a year ago if claimed when he became unemployed.

    I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

    24 hours a week isn't full time - even the 30 hours needed to claim WTC isn't full time!

    Well spotted.! Many jobs count 30 hours as full-time though nowadays.

    He's been unemployed for 18months so presumably has had 6 months of contribution based JSA. He will not be entitled to income based JSA because of his wife's earnings.
