Question about JSA Contribution Based

Are you allowed to work or earn any money whilst claiming the above? I am doing some calculations with my partner and want to know if there is a threshold? Background info-he is on JSA contribution based, I am self employed working 20 hours a week and we have a joint claim for tax credits which includes an element for our child (but not childcare as he is not working). I am clueless about tax credits so if anyone can help? thanks

You can work up to 16 hours on JSA contributions based but all but £5 is deducted pound for pound with your earnings. Your income doesn't affect his JSA if it's contributions based.0

thanks for the info! Would we be able to claim more tax credits if our joint working hours were 30 hours? I have this in my head for some reason and not sure if its correct0
