Working while receiving Income Support

[BruceWillisLovesMe]

I've tried googling but am unclear on how working affects your Income Support. I might have the chance to work 4 hours a week (not much I know) so would this just be taken off my IS or would I lose the whole IS because I'm working? I wouldn't be eligible for JSA because I won't be looking for extra work as these four hours would fit with a kind babysitting offer!

If you are getting IS because you are a lone parent you can earn £20 per week before DWP will take money from your benefit.
Google earnings disregard Income Support if you are getting IS for any other reason.

Thank you! I'm a lone parent so sounds like that will apply to me. Yay that's good then!

Tell them though, otherwise it's grist to the goadyfucker who will inevitably report you for fraud.

Definitely will! I'm too scared of getting into trouble not to make sure I do it all right and properly

I get jsa & work part time. Every fortnight i have to fill out a form for my hours & how much i got paid. The first 20 pounds is disregarded.
