@AndyBunn
The confusion comes with the word joint which does not have its everyday meaning for JSA.
As a couple, you claim as a couple. With needs and resources of both considered. The everyday meaning would be that you claim jointly.
Officially, a "joint claim" is where a couple BOTH have to be meeting the available for/actively seeking work rules.
Since she's a student, she is exempt from the available for/actively seeking work part of the claim but you are a couple for the rest of it.0
