Me and my wife were both made redundant last Jan. I was receiving JSB and adult qualified rate for my wife because she didn't have enough contributions on the relevant tax year ( 2008) , She had only 12 weeks for 2008 but in 2009 she worked 31 weeks.
I was offered a 35 hrs job and i'm wondering if my wife is entitled to any JSB on her own if I start work and if it is , how much would be?
Thanks
 
JSB is not means tested and she would be entitled to it in her own right if she had enough relevent prsi payments.
It will be means tested JSA,the citizens information website should be able to give you the amouts.
