Job Seekers Allowance, and working ?

lil_tuts

Does anyone know what way it works i know you can only work the max of 3 days but how much do they pay you if you work a day or two? is there a cut off point in regards to wages even if u work 3 days or less, how much can u earn in those 3 days before they cut you off jobseekers allowance? Also i heard the days have to be worked in a row like mon,tue,wed... they cant be broken up ?

Thanks
