    I see. So if I did 15hrs/week I’d earn gross £133.65 which would definitely reduce it to nothing.
    That isn't clear, the reduction "formula" doesn't appear to be in the public domain. So you would probably need to make a claim to be able to find out.
    In 2018...

    "• £5 is ignored for single claimants
    • £10 is ignored for unemployed couples
    (even if only one partner is working)

    • £20 is ignored for lone parents, people
    with disabilities and carers.

    Earnings above these amounts will reduce
    your benefit pound for pound"

    But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,
    Had the whole of their cash in his care.

    The key with JSA is you can get a NI credit even if the payment is £0.
