Hi everyone, ive been told by someone in my work that my SSP is due to end soon. I went online to find out about ESA and it says that if your husband/partner works more than 24 hours you cant get this is this true?? My husband works a 40 hr week so that means ill get nothing? Its not going to be easy just living on his wage i dont know what we are going to do.

I don't know: there must be information about this on-line somewhere on a goverment website. If not perhaps the CAB could advise - do you have those where you are? Something is saying 'Ireland' in my brain - is that where you live? Anyhoo, I hope you can find out about this. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Hi, I have ESA and I am entitled to it because I worked enough hours to pay national insurance, so I could claim after my sick pay ran out. My husband works full time and they don't ask about that, or savings if you have paid enough national insurance over the years. You can also claim if you haven't paid National Insurance, but that is worked out on your income and savings and I don't know how much you need to have comming in or in savings before its too much to claim. Sorry, its all so complicated and I have only really looked at the bits that are relivent to me! :oops:
Social Services might know or be able to point you to the department that deals with claims. Good luck! Love Sue0
