    So what if i work only one day a week and get £40 and i get £113.60 every two weeks from JSA so in total ill be getting £73.60 every two weeks or £33.60?

    So what if you worked the three days a week you've been offered and find another job for the other two days and have even more money and you won't have to keep turning up at the JobCentre and go on their training courses?

    Why would you only work one day a week when three are available?

    You have not taken into account the earnings deduction on your calculation. Anything you earn over £5 will be deducted from your JSA.
