Hello all
One of those I know I ought to know the answer but don't questions.
A couple with one child. One partner works full time, gets WTC and CTC, the other partner looks after the child.
The working partner does not like his work, so is thinking of taking a new job, for a new employer, which is only 12 hours a week, obviously will loose WTC, but his new wages would be below the applicable amount, so should get JSA top up and related CTB and HB. Does reducing your hours to get JSA top up fall within Just Cause rules, would he be sanctioned. I don't know if it would make any difference but he has paid enough NI contributions to be eligable for contribution based JSA.
Many thanks
