    Hi, im an NQT, Ive been signing on since since finishing college in May but ive just been offered a 2 week teaching job in a Summer camp and I wont get paid until the end of the 2 weeks. Ill have to travel 2 hours each way to get there which I dont mind except for the travel costs as public transport is so expensive.
    Im concerned as im on social welfare and wondering how this will interfere with my payments. If I take the job and then declare it to s/w they will stop my payments for the 2 weeks meaning I will have no money to travel to work. I also dont know how long it will be before I can return to getting my payment as I assume they will have to process the whole thing again. Does anyone have experience with this?
    Thanks

    Sent you a message. Don't think they'll close your claim completely but just stop it for the length you work. Get a letter from your employer with dates of employment for a start.
