Benefits Information
We have offered some flexibility in your contract hours as many applicants are claimants of
benefits. We have given you the most up to-date information, however, the responsibility is
yours to work out what best suits your situation.
If you work less than 16 hours a week, you may be able to claim Income Support or
Jobseeker's Allowance. However, if you have a partner who lives with you and works 24
hours a week or more, you will not be able to claim these benefits. Your partner may be able to claim
Working Tax Credit instead. For more info https://www.turn2us.org.uk/Benefitguides/Working-hours-benefits-rules/Which-benefits-are-affected-by-hours-worked
If you are getting Employment and Support Allowance and other benefits because of an illness or
disability you may be able to do some types of work within certain limits. This is called 'permitted
work'.
The idea of permitted work is that it allows you to test your own capacity for doing some work and
perhaps gain new skills. To help make these possible earnings under permitted work
are ignored in the benefit calculation, up to a limit of £115.50. For more info https://
