Whats the deal with Income Support? How much can you earn?

[katymac]

How does this work?

Is it less than X number of hours or less than X amount of money?
Or does everything affect Income Support?
I just don't understand

I think its both hours and money combined that they take into account. Its not much at all. They would also take into account a partners income and some other benefits i think.

its around 20 pounds (it is for me anyway) anything after that they take

That's no good

I can only offer about £50 a week - so this lady won't be able to come of benefit (and neither she nor I want to do it Cash)

I could just go to £70 - But I don't think that much good either

I wonder if she was earning 70 and claiming tax credits whether that would make any difference?

She could go into the job centre and run it by them and they would give her exact figures.
