Job centre and pay slips

missflirtuk

Right a bit of background. For 3 years nearly I have been working and my OH hasn't been claiming a penny from Jobcentre. We were never told we could, but we got informed the other week that because I only work part time and we are on a low income (I don't even earn £10k a year) that he can claim it. Now we have an appointment tomorrow at our local JCP and I have my P60 but my wage slips are online and I have forgotten my password, rang headoffice the other day to reset my password after weeks of me trying to do it myself (not reset it but to send myself a password reminder to my email. Nothing as come through. So would the P60 be enough for now until I can get online again and print my payslips off from the local library? I know how funny the jobcentre can be and how much they look down on you (the ones at the jobcentre we have to go to tomorrow are awful for it). So I don't want to annoy them even more.

The p60 will prove your yearly earnings but it wont show them that you are doing less then a certain amount of hours a week and thats one of the main things they want to know as for all they know you could have eanred all your yearly wage over 3 months so you need the wage slips to show each weeks working hours

How many hours a week do you work

JSA for a couple is about £112 per week, there is a small disregard (believe this is £10 per week for a couple) but income is deducted £ for £ after that

I work 20 hours a week. I cannot get on my online wage slips as they haven't sent me link to reset my password as they said they would. I have been trying for 3 weeks to get on my wage slips but for some reason it won't let me, and a couple of others at my work are having the same problem. I wish I did earn all my yearly wage over 3 months... would be fantastic . Would they be able to ring my work and just confirm for now with the manager until I can hopefully get my wage slips sorted? The worse thing they did was go to online wage slips..... :mad:.

I do 20 hours and earn £130 a week. I'm not sure how all this would work out.

Probably no payment then (income will cancel out the JSA) but if your OH signs on he should get him NI credits towards his state pension

have you done a full benefit check on www.turn2us.org.uk?

You may be entitled to CTB, WTC or LHA?

We were told from a reliable source and when we filled the form out online to claim JSA that we would be able to claim JSA. I don't understand all this benefits malarky.

How much does the law say we need to live on each week/fortnight? Does anyone know please?

You haven't answered the few questions I'd asked earlier so I don't know your circumstances but from your other posts you mention having a child. Is there any reason why you cannot increase your hours to 24 then you can claim working tax credit?

As your OH doesn't appear to be working (sorry I don't know the circumstances) you could even work full time as your OH would be able to provide the child care.

Apologies if there are circumstances which prevent this but if you want to share then we may be able to help to increase your income. You seem to be living on a very small income.
