Claiming JSA and a P46

Hi,
I was Self Employed last year but the business Failed and I have been signing on and claiming JSA, I am looking for work and found and applied to some Mystery Shopping Companies, I was accepted to one but they want me to complete a P46 ?, now if I tell the Job Centre I am working they will want to know who, when, wages etc, but this company will only pay me £10 for visiting a clothes shop !, and that might be it for weeks !, but if the P46 goes back to the Tax Office they will find it odd as I am Unemployed, so I really don't want to do anything wrong but I don't know how to explain it to the Job Centre.

Regards,

Ian

    Hi Ian,

    Welcome to MSE.

    If you complete the form, and let them know that you are doing occasional MS, you shouldn't have a problem. All they will ask is that you tell you when you work, and you will have to fill in a short form for each week that you work.
    Gone ... or have I?
