    I’m hoping someone could help me!
    I currently work 27 hrs a week and qualify for a wfs payment. However I went for a job interview recently and got offered a job which I would love to take but I will only be paid over 45 weeks of the year. I was informed by admin I could draw my stamps for the other 7 weeks. I am wondering if this would affect my wfs payment. Would I still qualify for it. I will have a part time permanent contract over 45 weeks?

    Thanks in advance

    Afaik you would not be eligible for wfp during those 7 weeks and would have to put in a new application when you return to to work
