Incidentely, not specific to you Max, but for other self employed ( and employed) people where the stress of bankruptcy or other factors have made them ill / depressed, they CAN claim incapacity benefit as that is based on class 1 OR class 2 contributions, most partners earnings would not affect this.

wouldnt that reduce our wftc and rent rebates?

its all swings+roundabouts isnt it

i can blame baldness on stress, but i was bald before anyway....

abraham cohen and his wife miriam were in bed, abraham was tossing and turning for hours, miriam got cheesed off "oi vey abraham, what is the matter?" abraham says "i owe £40,000 to Isaac yakovitz next door and cant repay on time, im so worried" miriam gets up, opens the window and shouts "ISAAAC! ISSSAC!", next door a bedroom light comes on, and isaac opens the window and sticks his head out "what do you want miriam?"

miriam shouts "abraham hasnt got the money he owes you" and slams the window shut, gets back into bed and switches the light off, she says to abraham....................

"now let him worry and you go to sleep"

hi Max,
I'm a civil servant & deal with jsa (jobseekers allowance ) & IB (incapacity benefit) claims. The info on jsa is correct also the advice on IB is. Claiming IB is whats known as a none means tested benefit so it does'nt matter what your other income is, but it is a taxble benefit so would need to be declared on any tax returns.

Cheers Max, your thanks is much appreciated. I've posted questions on here on may occasions, but never been able to offer much advice. For others who may be reading this I also deal with IS (income support) claims & have basic knowledge on most other benefits. If andy questions come up & I can't answer straight away I'll try and find out & post later. I'm around most nights except this weekend....... I'm going away for a well earned break!!!!
