    I am supposed to be working a 3 day week and claiming a JA for my unemployed days.

    I've been scheduled to work a 5 day week next week (Mon, Tues, Thur, Fri, Sat).

    Does this affect my JA payment?

    I was told by social welfare that I need to be unemployed for 4 days out the social welfare week which is from Wed - Tues the following week. If I go by this info, from Wed 3rd May - Tues 9th May (I'd be employed for Mon 8th & Tues 9th May), didn't work Wed 3rd May - Sun 7th May). I'm to work Thurs 11th, Fri 12th, Sat 13th. Then I don't know what day I'm working after that.

    On Citizens Information website it states:

    "A person is entitled to Jobseeker's Allowance (JA) only for periods of unemployment. You must be unemployed for at least 4 days in a period of 7 consecutive days to get JA."

    Does this mean any 7 consecutive days? Or does the 7 days just apply to Wed - the following Tues?
