Hi. After being a SAHM for eight years I am trying to return to work now that the youngest of my four DCs is at preschool. DH thinks I may be entitled to claim jobseekers allowance while I'm looking for work, but I think not as he works full time and it will be assessed on his salary (?) Also, I am only looking to go back part time (2 days a week until my youngest DC starts school in September) and wouldn't I need to be looking for full time work to claim any kind of allowance?
I worked full time for approx seven years before having children and I'm wondering if the tax credits I would have accumulated have any relevance? Any help or advice would be most appreciated, none of the government websites seem to give me clear answers!
Many thanks.
