my sons are in cear

[Kitty]

Hi all both my sons are in fear and i hv had my jsa stopped cause i hv contact whit both sons all week so naw am left whit no money is there eany other benfit i could claim ty

[Cieves]

I'm sorry but there is no benefit that u can claim, my 3 kids are in kinship care and are currently being phased back home. I have 1 overnight a week so far and 2 contact days, n I am struggling financially as I can't claim child tax until ther at least stayin with me 3 days a week. I dont understand why your jsa has stopped when that benefit has nothing to do with the kids???

Dear Kitty

Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to claim alternative benefits. For instance, If you are unfit for work or disabled you may need to claim Employment and Support Allowance instead of JSA but should seek advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau on your specific entitlements.
