Can anyone advise me how many hours you can work when you are receiving JSA before you lose the benefit. Have spoken to job centre who don't seem to know! new to this as have never claimed benefits before and only do now due to family bereavement. Thanks for any advice

"You may get Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) if the following apply:

. . . . your partner, if you have one, works for less than 24 hours a week on average"

Your earnings from the work will affect the entitlement too, mind. A lot of folk say claimants can work up to sixteen hours a week but it must be UNDER sixteen hours a week.

If the hours vary week to week, there is guidance on how the hours will be averaged depending on whether there's a regular pattern or no.

I'm surprised the folk at the Jocentre weren't able to advise you about the limit.
