Married and working wife redundant dec31st

I am working and my wife is to be made redundant dec 31st.

She has been in work for about two years.

I am on an average wage.

Should she be entitled to anything from the social welfare?

What are the limits to what I can earn? if anything?

we have three kids under 5 and a large mortgage.

Have a look at the sticky post "guide for unemployed people" at the top of this forum, it may answer most of your questions, and has good advice and information on claiming SW.
