Recently found out there is a possibility of my job going on short time.E.g,four wks. work one week off.Am i entitled to full benefit for the week off work? married with kids
 
You will be entitled to claim JB for the days of employment lost. Your rate oif payment will depedn on your circumstances, whether you suffered a substantial loss of earnings, whether your spouse is employed, what (s)he is earning, etc.. Call to your local SW office and talk to them about your own particular situation.
 
It could affect whether he gets a dependant spouse allowance for her.
 
Of course it would affect the QA portion of his JB but why would affect his own portion of JB
