    If she has no job, then it would depend on the age of the kids. If they are under 14 then yes i think she can get IS and CB aswell as HB. If they are all over 14 then she will have to go on JSA while she gets another job.

    CAB or to see a WRO (welfair rights officer) would be the best thing :)
