    Hello @bigaxedwarf

    I'm sorry to hear about your husband's job.

    With regards to benefits, it would depend on your full circumstances and what else you are currently claiming. He may be entitled to New Style Job Seekers Allowance, but this is deducted in full from any UC payment.

    Your UC award wouldn't change, but your payments may increase, because any deductions made for his wages stop when he is no longer earning.
