JOB SEEKERS ALLOWANCE

JOB SEEKERS ALLOWANCE was created by beth18
Hi, could anyone tell me how it can work to do casual work whilst on JSA? In an effort to find work, I've been offered casual work - unpredictable hours, could be no hours a week, could be many, no choice - and have accepted as it may lead to more sustained regular work. I know there is a ceiling of 16 hours, but this doesn,t 'fit' into a tick box, and if I lose JSA, I may well also lose my home as would be unable to unable to pay the rent if I lost housing benefit also. Also, how much of what you earn are you allowed to keep? Thanks

I am sorry but we do not advise on JSA on the forum, from what I understand any income from your working will normally be deducted from your JSA, you should speak to your JC+ advisor about what you want to do before proceeding.
