should I claim or not?

    I have a quick question hoping someone can help me out.

    Basic background is that I am changing jobs but will still be working 3 day week... ive worked it out that I think I will only be entitled to 30 euro a week JSA while im working this job 3 days a week.

    My question is, should I continue on with my application and claim this 30 euro, or would I be better off not claiming it? I mean of course I want to claim it as every little helps and it will work out at 120 euro a month extra.
    But I just want to make sure that in the long wrong will it go against me if I have been claiming JSA for a long period of time (so far I've been on it while working me old parttime job for a year) and so since its going to be a relatively small amount of money from now on should I sign off...

    hope this makes sense :)

    If you can afford to be without it, i think it would be better not to claim it as it would mean your stamps would be building back up rather then being used up.

    As its JSA you aren't using up your stamps as its means tested. Every time you pay a contribution you are putting up a stamp for the future.
    Being long term in receipt of JSA won't go against you - and at the end of the day 30 euro is 30 euro.
