My husband has a part time work and for the days he's not working he gets jobseekers allowance. I am a dependant adult on his claim, currently a stay at home mother. I am thinking of setting up my own business and would love to know if I do that, will my husband lose his entitlement to JSA? I guess that on a good week I could have an income of 75-150 euro. Currently my husband gets 200 in wages and 280 from social welfare. If he loses his social welfare there is no way our family could live on 200 a week if I didn't make any money from my business any particular week, that amount would hardly pay our mortgage... Also his job not secure at all, some weeks they have no work and he's at home all week depending on sw only.
If anyone is/was in a similar situation, I'd be grateful for any views on this, thanks
