You can only get jsa if you work under 16 hours a week.

yes/no?


Jobseekers is ~£65/week. Why would they give you it if you're earning more than that?
Nope but you could get a part time job too?

Ask at the job center. If you have expenses such as an flat to rent (or dependents or something) then you can get some form of income support.

Go and ask someone who is informed. You will just get lots of conflicting information on the internet.
If it's over 16 hours per week, no.

It's possible to do a 16 hour apprenticeship if your doing an advanced level (in certain things) because you have to have your own placement.
