    Jobs are hard to find, people are coming out of uni and struggling BUT non fancy jobs are there! If your desperate anything will do.I myself do private house cleaning and ironing while the children are at school wasnt easy getting them but one led to two and then i got 3, my husband does gardening/rubbish clearance and car washing on top of his full time 6am-4pm job.
    Once you ask about/advertise and get one job, word gets around.
    Its a bit late now as they are needing help now BUT for future they need to find extra on top of what they do OR both find better jobs that are all year round.
    they certainly are, and non-fancy jobs....ie gardening are their, your right lol. my daughter hates it coming home covered in soil and her "nails " what nails lmao . she always moans about it..............but its a job !!!! tbh cleaning houses, cleaning cars are fancy jobs compaired to some ive done. im sure now they know about these 3 months and have been their............they will know what to do next year. after all , we learn something new everyday lol

    Sometimes if someone is self employed and as part of their job they have normal pattens of non/low work they will be still classed as self employed. IE they will average wages over the year.If over 18 they could claim Working Tax Credits.

    Unless they have children, they will not qualify for WTC until they are 25.

    You are correct about SE/ seasonal working patterns affecting entitlement to JSA, but this is a decision for a Decision Maker, not a front line advisor. Hence, an application for JSA (and HB) should be made.
