    Hi,
    I would like to have real advice on the following:
    My wife is working part time and I am on jobseekers allowance. We have 2kids and we are getting FIS & Rent supplement payments. What I don't know is that if I find a part time job of about less than 30hrs a week, which of the above 3 payments will stop or be affected?
    Thanks.

    Your JSA will need a new means test,FIS will remain the same until it is renewed,Rent allowance is also means tested and will be effected.(reduced)Though at 30 hours per week the rent allowance will be lost.
