I've never been on the dole so I don't really know its workings all that well but aren't you only qualified for jobseekers allowance if you're actively searching work?

If no one else knows, I would check out these websites HERE and HERE

It wouldn't be job seekers you would be entitled to, as you are retaining some income, but i would suggest going to your local social welfare office and finding out if you are entitled to income support. Considering its a 33% reduction in hours (and presumably income) you should have entitlement here.
