Hi Sorry am having to use my husbands log on, as i can't remember my password. I work for DWP, unfortunately if you have been knocked back for JSA and are already claiming working tax creduts there is very little option open to you im afraid. To actually qualify for contribution based JSA you need to pay a certain amount over two tax years, as far as i'm aware i think thats nearly £5000. Basically working tax credits are there to top you up to the minimum amount needed to live on. if thats only a small amount then thats it i'm afraid no other government help is available if you are a couple with no children and are fit and healthy and working/ looking for work.
