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.

It would be back to square one I think. I am not aware of any linking rules for in-work credit.0
