    Hiya

    I see some queries about working hours being reduced to a 3-day week, but none about a 4-day week.

    My company recently cut everyone's hours by 20%.

    Am I entitled to claim Jobseekers Allowance?
    I was working Mon-Fri, now it's Mon-Thurs.

    The Dept.Soc.Welfare website is very vague...and only gives examples of a 3-day week.

    Any ideas?

    I phoned the Dole Office yesterday, finally got through after about an hour trying. They said a person has to be put on a 3-day week in order to claim Jobseekers Benefit.

    It seems one day off work per week is not enough....
