Some background - I have 2 kids, a 2 year old and an 8 week old - My partner is a US Citizen, and doesn't yet have her ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) so can't claim any benefits herself. We privately rent a house.
At the moment, I work 38 hours a week, and claim Child Tax/Working Tax credits, and we receive Child Benefit for both the kids.
I'm in the situation where my employment might not last much longer, and I need to find out exactly which benefits I'd get in this situation. The only one I know of is JSA and Child Benefit, and likely Housing/Council Tax Benefit. Could I claim Income Support instead as my partner can't claim? Would I be eligible for any Tax Credits? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
