Hiya ladies.

How did we approach Job Centres etc ?

So after sorting stuff out etc my O/H is in the process of looking for work. He was signed off from probation a while back and helped him with his CV etc.

As I only get PIP we need some income , plus I cannot work.



He got a community order which he has served and nearly 3 years into his 5 on SOR etc.

Thank you xx

We dealt with the JC by making my ex my carer. He was my carer before the arrest and if you get PIP, your person can either claim carers allowance but they can also claim UC. Carers allowance is taken from UC £ 4 £ but they can get the carers element of UC. Have a look at a benefit calculator. You can also claim UC and send fit notes in. Once you've sent 3 months worth in, you are able to apply for Limited capacity for work which is the sickness element of UC. You have to be assessed and sometimes you get extra money but sometimes not, it depends on your situation. X

Hi Chelsea, if your OH hasn't worked for sometime he might find the thought of getting back into work daunting. Job centres do coaching and run courses and group sessions to help and support people getting back into work.
