As many as you want or are able for. Your payment is adjusted based on how much you earn not how many hours you work.

If you start work then notify DA straight away and then send them a payslip as soon as you have one. You can earn €140 a week and still keep all your DA but it starts being reduced after that until you would lose it all if you earned €375.
If you work 19 hours and you have kids you may be able to claim WFP too.
