    Hello,

    I was recently made redundant, I have made a social welfare claim but I am still waiting for a means test. I have just been offered a part time job working from home one day a week.

    I am just wondering how will this affect the social welfare payment, Will I end up with the same money as if I was not working?


    Thank you

    Thank you

    Your earnings from your days works will be assessed as means. You should go sw office and tell them that you will be working casually. You will then be given a form for your employer to fill out and also be given dockets to fill in and submit every week. You will have to provide payslips in order to calculate your means from employment.
