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.

You may be able to claim Working Tax Credit. Have a look at this: https://www.gov.uk/working-tax-credit/eligibility

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.
