I have a part time job doing market research. The company I work for is undergoing some restructuring: there was supposed to be a meeting explaining it all and I have had a letter saying, not to worry, you're being transferred from Dept A to Dept B but there will still be work.
ONly the work has dried up, pretty much.
Now I get some housing benefit (ie about half the rent), and when I started the job I told the HB office who adjusted my benefit (ie stopped it for a month then messed about bouncing cheques), giving a good estimate of what I would earn per month. But if I'm not going to be earning anything like it per month, what do I do about the HB, because I can't have them stopping it for 5 weeks every time I have to change my earning amounts) but if I say to the company that I can't work like this and leave the job, will I get the HB cut off altogehter?
I don't get income support BTW, work part time for the company, rest of the time self-employed and get tax credits.

Should I formally jack this job in, sit tight or what?
