A joint claim.
He is shown as living at home address.

Would the grants / bursary affect any claim?
What is the best route ?
Get a zero hour contract and claim on that for JSA ?
Claim Income support ? Is she going to eligible ?
Get a contract for 16 hours( she hasn't had for last 6 weeks)and try WTC ( don't think eligible though)

OK, she can't sign on because of the partner. Yes the grants and loans are stopping her getting JSA. The zero hour contract will not help. She is not eligible for income support as that is for single parents.

His student finance will affect all means tested benefits and they'll need to work for 24 hours between them to be eligible fot WTC, with one pf them doing at least 16 hours.
