Hey there, hubby lost job 2day company he works for isnt doin great...im on jsa & we have 2kids, im on 103.00 (incl additional child) & getting fuel allowance, what would we be entitled to,?

Just another query we have 3 dogs would we b able to claim anything for them? Ive heard ppl can ?

Hubby will get 188 for himself, you will get 124 for yourself (i presume you are not working/no other property/savings in excess of 20000) as a family ye will get 29.80 for each dependent child. This can all be paid to him or split between you if you like. So 372 euro in total. nothing for dogs.

Do u not grt fuel allowance if both on benefit? He forgot to ask 2day

No fuel on Jobseekers benefit claim.

If you were getting fuel then you would be better off claiming him as a dependent on your claim and let him claim for credits. Then only one of you sign monthly and one payment in the Post Office.
