New-(ish) question on Casual JSA

Loriharton

Hi all,

I've read lots of questions about casual job seekers allowance but I was wondering if someone in the same situation as me can give me an answer to this as I haven't found an answer yet. I've been on JSA for since late March. I've just been offered a job, but it's only for three days a week (10am-6pm every day I work). I am currently receiving €150 a week on JSA, this job will pay €250 for the 3 days. Does this mean I am not entitled to casual job seekers allowance as what I will be getting paid is more than what I am currently getting on the SW or will I get something anyway?

If someone could give me an answer to this I'd really appreciate it!
