Hi everyone,

I was in the running for a freelance job. Unfortunately I didn't get it.

My query is if you are on Job Seekers Benefit and in receipt of Rent Allowance can you take on freelance work eg 2 days a week? I spoke with my Social Welfare Office and they said you can if you bring in a letter from the employer. Has anyone ever done this and was it easy? Is it actually true?
