    You can. However if you are single, after the first £5, every penny you earn is deducted from your JSA.

    Plus, if you work 16 hours, you won't get JSA. The rules state you must be working LESS than 16 hours...
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
