I was made redundant at the end of October last year, and has been signing on since then...I got a part time job at Sainsburys at the beginning of February, but since its only 12 hours a week, I still have to sign on to keep my National Insurance payments up. So far, I understand.. However, the DWP has continued to pay me JSA every two weeks, even though Ive informed them that I have a job, which pays me more than I was claiming in JSA, which as far as I understand it, means Im no longer entitled to claim, but Ive been told that my claim will not be assessed until I can provide 3 months worth of payslips, and until then they will continue to pay out! I asked what would happen then?, would I be presented with a huge bill? I was told, no, nothing will happen, which I find extremely hard to believe.
Money is extremely tight for us at the moment, so we are using every penny that comes our way..but should I be setting this extra money aside for the impending massive bill...?
Am I able to pay the money back at a lower amount, say £20 a month?, Im a little concerned and any help would be appreciated.
