As soon as you work 16 hours or more your JSA claim is closed. You are allowed to work less than 16 hours provided you declare your work by completing a B7 each time you sign.“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”

Sorry what i meant was - why would you want to claim anything off the state if you were a proud working person. Surely you would not want hand outs anymore?
If you earn below a certain threshold (I can't remember at the moment) you don't contribute the full NI contribution towards your pension/benefit entitlements. By continuing to sign on your Stamp will be paid.“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”
