Question State benefits FOR SARGE

20 Times 20 Times

Hey lads !

I have just arrived back in the country after two years away , and have signed on using my stamps. So currently i have been told that i can expect to receive 197.80 a week .

Now I have a few questions about this , I'm currently looking for a part time job (due to academic reasons ) mostly weekend work , now someone said to me that I could work up to 20hours a week and still receive some of my stamps , and that also Sunday work isn't taking into consideration.

So how true is this ?

Also about claiming a medical card who to I contact for this and what ID/ Documents to i need to bring.

Unfortunately I'm also back living with my mother (JOKING) is it possible to claim rent allowance ?

Thanks in advance

You have to be unemployed for 3 days in 6 to claim Jobseeker's benefit (and looking for full-time work) . you will lose 1/6 of E197.80 for each day worked.
