Skimlinks adds tracking to some, primarily retailers' links, to show they come from this forum. For some retailers, instead of using Skimlinks to turn the link into a tracked link, we use affiliated links set up through other third parties. Then if it generates revenue from that, this site is paid. The links don't change the content, or what you see or track individual data?

Search Post reply Subscribe to thread. Back in summer ofI got a job with a contract stating I was employed for 7 hours per week. As the summer is a particularly busy time for this company, I was working closer to 30 each week. The winter is not a busy time for this organisation, so despite getting made a permanent member of staff and getting a new uprated contract of 14 hours per week, I have now been cut back strictly to those 14, and am really struggling financially.

According to Jobcentre Plus' website, working under 16 hours per week entitles you to claim Jobseekers Allowance and possibly other benefitsbut does anyone know the scale at which it is cut down? I am assuming that if I'm working 14 hours per week, I won't get the full weekly allowance. I've just phoned them, given them my details, but forgot to ask the woman I was speaking to, if she could advise on the rate I would receive.

I won't get back through to them now before they close tonight, so does anyone have any similar stories who might be able to advise me? Also, I have a girlfriend I've been seeing for a while, and we would like to share a house together. I obviously didn't tell the Jobcentre this, because the more you tell them, the more paperwork you have to fill out.

Before anyone claims I've done anything fraudulent, she doesn't currently support me in any way, we don't have any stock market macroeconomic variables together, and even if we lived together - we won't be earn money writing hindi poems a joint bank account.

We both have separate lives, but like to spend some of them together. I won't and she probably wouldn't either be willing to divulge her bank or employment details to them. Would I be right in assuming I'm probably not able to claim JSA or Housing Benefit, if I'm living with currency converter korean won, unless Epsilon flexible forex coupon settembre 2020 deliberately lie and say we're not a couple?

There are currently no thanks for this post. There will be a five pound disregard on your earnings whilst can you earn money while on jobseekers allowance are single.

Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA): Eligibility - kysiqubonypun.web.fc2.com

If the two of you move in together you may still claim contributory JSA in your own right and your partner's information will not be required.

Users saying Thanks 1. So you need to ask yourself is it worth working those hours?? Bearing in mind transport costs etc. But if you quit work you could be sanctioned for a period of time if you claim JSA. Your best bet is to look for a different job where there are permanent hours.

If your partner moves in with you you could still claim housing benefit but her income will be taken into account aswell as yours, so depending on how much that amounts to you may or may not be eligable.

Hey ok this is how JSA works Its My partner wouldn't be able to move in here. Nor could I move into her house. We would both have to move elsewhere, as we're renting individual rooms in shared houses. I have a feeling her salary which isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things would render me benefitless, but I wouldn't want to burden her with having to give all sorts of details to the benefit office anyway.

It is a mentally exhausting job it's really boringand it's in the middle of the night. Working during the day at my current place of work is a lower rate, and there aren't any shifts available anyway.

Surely if that's the way they work it, they might as well say you can only claim if you work 11 hours or under. Users saying Thanks 3. Users saying Thanks 4. Surely if that's the way they work it, they might as well say you can only claim if you work 11 hours or under.
