Hello Folks !
I work as a full-time driver (self-employed) and last Friday (10/5)
my vehicle broke down and it looks like the best part of a month before
it will be back on the road. Today (14/5) I visited my local JC and was told that my NI contributions would not cover any contributions-based claim
and the fact that my partner works 30 hrs per week nullifies an earnings-based claim. The adviser suggested claiming Working Tax Credit
online but it turns out that I do not qualify. I have made no benefits claim of any kind in the last 15 years and all my taxes and NI contributions are up to date.
Is there anything else I can do ? Any ideas/help would be much appreciated. Thank you !
