Hi,

I'm on contribution based ESA Support group doing permitted work.
My wife's on maternity leave with our baby boy.

What hours do we, as a couple, need to work to get benefits?

Can you advise me please?

Thank you

This is not really an area that we advice on but based on your post you may struggle, if you are thinking of Tax Credits then you have to be working 16 hours or more a week but your PW is limited to less than 16 hours so there is no crossover.

My best advice is to put your details into one of the online benefit calculators to see what they recommend. See
