Hi, I wonder if anyone can solve a problem.I am on jobseekers allowance and have been offered a job with little money (but I will get a bigger salary, in the future). I want to take the job, but i cannot afford to stop job seekers allowance with the salary the company is offering. Will I be able to claim Income Support until the job salary increases? Thanks in advance.
When you take the job you will qualify for 'working tax credit' not income support. You can also claim housing and council tax benefit.
Working tax credit pays a lot more than JSA, it will be reduced as your income goes up.
