I've been a sahm for 7 years now and am looking to get back into work.

DH works full time. Would I be entitled to JSA or because he works Will I not get anything?

Things getting tight now.

Go on Direct,gov website. Alas jobcentre staff can't issue advice. You can do an online assessment to see if you might be entitled to help. I'm assuming you get working tax credit and child tax credit.
I've only just found out that I could have claimed for all manner of stuff whilst I was on a very small income .Good Luck.

I doubt you would get JSA based on your husband's earnings. If you had worked and paid NI contributions in the past 2 years ( I think ) you could have claimed contributions based JSA, but you won't be able to if you have been a sahm for 7 years. Sorry.
