Yes you can but you're only allowed to keep £5 of it, the rest gets deducted from your JSA £1 for £1.0

If you're working then you're not exactly job seeking. And if you are working and claiming JSA then it's called Benefit Fraud.
Not exactly true ....you're allowed to work 16 hrs or less and still claim JSA..2014 Target;

Actually your statement is not true and you'd be suprised by how many get caught with the 16 hour rule.
example
If you are working 15 hours a week and earning £10 an hour you'd be earning £150.00 less tax etc. So why would you think you'd receive JSA on top of earning £150.00 a week.
I work in benefit fraud and this is the question they throw at you if you plead the 16 hour rule.
If you're earning over 16 hours then you claim WTC0 -

As far as I aware you can work 16 hours or less and anything you earn is taken into consideration when caculating the benefit amount......this is why I assume that I have had to provide copies of my wage slip every week since I started claimed. Presumably if I earned anything over the JSA entitlement then I would only get my contributions made up.
Or have I been given incorrect information?2014 Target;

Pretty much correct except that it's less than 16 hours, not 16 hours or less.Bought, not Brought0 -

And that is theft - of my hard earned money that I have to pay in tax to keep people like you! You make me sick and give people who are not playing the system a bad name.Life is too short to drink bad wine!0
