Can anyone clarify if that is the case and you have worked under 16 hours a week if your JSA claim can still continue (paying 0.00 per week).
"
Maybe wasn't too clear.
What I meant was if you are earning around £75 - £80 a week, sometimes more sometimes less, whilst working under 16 hours a week can a claim for JSA (income based) continue ?
Obviously because of exceeding the single person earnings threshold of £65.50 you would receive zero JSA each week.
However would you eventually qualify for Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) after the 13 week waiting period ?0 -
I checked the decision makers guide and as usual it is as clear as mudpontdugard wrote: »"

I'm sure on IS you are allowed to earn £20 before your claim is affected but I'm not sure if that applys to all claimants or specific circumstances, hopefully someone else will know for sure

Assuming you are on IS for being a lone parent/carer you can keep the first £20 from wages then IS will deduct £1 for £1 after that.does anyone know if i work 5 hrs a week and earn about £30 will this change my income support claim?
If you aren't a lone parent and have a single claim it's the first £5 then £1 for £1 after that.
If you are part of a couple on IS it's the first £10 then £1 for £1 after that.*SIGH*
