Hi guys
Can you help. I've been on JSA since being made redundant. I've just started as a self employed person who will only get paid on a commission basis about every 3 months. Can I still claim JSA?

Yes (as long as you are still spending 35 hours a week looking for work).

OP if you are working more than 16 hours a week you are not entitled to JSA, you should declare the work as you do it."You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "0
