[Brookner]

my sister is currently unemployed and has built up no stamps over the years to claim the dole. her husband is employed some weeks full time other weeks 3 day week. Can anyone tell me if she is entitled to anything on the dole?or is their any financial support for her?

If she's available for and seeking full-time work, she can make a claim for Jobseeker's Allowance. It will be means-tested on her husband's income (as well as any savings or property apart from family home).
