    Hi,

    I just started on casual jobseekers, sending in the x/o dockets weekly. I understand if you work 4 days or more in a 7 day period you aren't entitled to any jobseekers payment at all, my question is if you work 4 days in one week ie. monday - thursday does that disqualify you or is it 4 days between wednesday and tuesday as in the dockets or just 4 days out of any 7?

    If you work 4 days in any period then this will disqualify you.

    Can anyone tell me the procedure, for casual work and Jobseekers allowance. My brother has a chance of some casual work over the Summer.

    We know he'll ring the DSP but what about forms' etc. Will they send them out to him on request or does he have to go into them?

    As above there will be forms for your new employer to fill in and possibly a new means test.

    Hi guys i know this is a very old post and im indeed of help if something comes up.

    I got approved 2 months from the white dockets to yellow dockets there amount ago.

    today i received of my means test im guessing this is part of the supplementary payment instead of the real thing if im wrong ?

    basically what im asking is how long does your claim come in for the yellow dockets or for the supplementary or are they the same thing ? im so confused with this i really appreciate if someone helps its a long shot
