I am in shit Street with no income coming in myself as I am up to my eyes in both car finance and credit card debt. Can I claim anything? I'm lead to believe that I can't claim universal credit as my Mrs salary is above the level to not be able to make any claims?
Your Mrs' employer should be able to claim 80% of her salary to pay her. The OP said the upper limit is £2500 per week - its per month. It's not a threshold - it's a maximum claim and £28k is £2333 a month.
As for the self employed I wish I knew. In the meantime contact your finance companies and ask for payment holidays.
