Do you work?
If she doesn't not earn enough to pay NI contributions then she will not be entitled to contribution based JSA, no matter how long she has worked there.
Depending on your income she may be entitled to income based. if not, you may qualify for additional benefits (tax credits, housing benefit, council tax support) if you are on a low income (but too high for income JSA)0 -

Youngest is 18 in the 6th form at school.
Then you might be entitled to some tax credits.
However, they are complicated as they are usually based on the previous tax year and you wouldn't qualify.
Hopefully some of our tax credit 'experts' might be along and tell you about this and whether you should apply.0 -
