Hope somebody can shed some light...
I have just been offered an 18 hour p/w temporary contract through my recruitment agency with a local authority after being unemployed since July 2011. I have decided to accept it to get some more recent experience for applying for a permanent job. But I am now wondering if the temporary contract ends before I find something else and have to claim JSA again, will I still be entitled resume receiving in work credit when I start another job?
I hopefully wont be unemployed for a year again, but the criteria to receive the credit is to be claiming for one year, and I cant find anything about losing your job whilst getting In work credit. That money would really help me to get back on my feet with my finances.

I have enough money to last me the rest of my life... unless I buy something.

Do you mean Housing Benefit & Council Tax Benefit roll on? 4 weeks after claiming JSA for 6 months. Job Grant of £100 also requires 6 months on JSA.
If you mean Working Tax Credit, you'd still be entitled, as it's based on your taxable income in the previous tax year, ie 2011/12.Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer. If they wanted morality or the view of the IoD or Bank they'd ask them.0 -
