Hi Nic
I am really sorry to hear the bad news about you being made redundant. I can imagine your emotions are everywhere.
It is a horrible feeling.
I hope you find another job, and one that is suited to the hours that you can do. You may even prefer it to the job you are leaving.
This site is good because it gives you all the information:
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Diol1/Do...PRO=hp&CRE=dio
Regarding benefits, you can still claim Jobseekers Allowance, even though you live together, but how much you receive will be based on what your partners wage is.
If you apply for Employment Support Allowance, then regardless of what Alex's wage is, you will still receive it, as it is not means tested, and is just for you yourself, being ill and unable to work.
Hope everything works out for you, Nic.
Hugs
