Help with JSA means test

Hi all, Think there was a mistake with my JSA means test but I find it a bit confusing! Can anyone tell me what the 20 euro per day disregard thing is about in relation to my DHs average weekly income? I'm confused as I was on JSA two years ago and was on a higher rate then than I am now even though DH is now earning less.…

Hi all,

Think there was a mistake with my JSA means test but I find it a bit confusing! Can anyone tell me what the 20 euro per day disregard thing is about in relation to my DHs average weekly income?

I'm confused as I was on JSA two years ago and was on a higher rate then than I am now even though DH is now earning less. They have given us a 20euro disregard and it says beside it "1 days worked", but he works 5 days per week so should it not be a 60euro disregard as it says 20 per day for max of 3 days?

Sorry I'm not sure if I am explaining myself very well..

If hes working 5 days the disregard should be €60. You should call into your local office straight away and rectify this.
