taken voluntary redundancy from one job, still working another. JSA?

Hi All

I've been working 2 part time jobs, one employed and one self-employed. I've just taken voluntray redundancy from the 'employed' job (jumped before I was pushed:() and will still be working part time in the self-employed job.

I have 3 questions:
Since I accepted voluntary redundancy, will I still qualify for contributions based JSA? If so....
Since I will still be working (under 16 hours) in S/E, would contributions based JSA be reduced?
I got £2,000 redundancy pay and 6 wks in Lieu of notice - how do these affect contributions based JSA?

If any of these things would reduce the amount of Contributions based JSA I would seriously wonder if it were worth the trauma of the job-centre:eek:, so I could do with knowing before I contact them :)

Thanks in advance peeps
Linda
