Job seekers assistance & working 2 days

[sunshimmer09]

I am currently waiting to be assesed for job seekers assistance (7 weeks now) I was on job seekers benefit after company I worked for for 7 years closing. I have a daughter and am single. Have never claimed benefits up to losing full time position. I was receiving €212 a week js and very small mortgage interest supplement €400 a month. I have found a job that's 2 days a week not ideal but a start, my salary is pretty good 18200 a year for 2 days. I am now looking for another job full time or part time. I will gross 350 a week for 2 days, creche costs 100 a week for 2 days and mortgage is 650 a month. Will I qualify for JAS for the other 3 days with this salary?

I am just trying to figure it out online but it's impossible? The waiting to be assessed is driving me insane.

Thanks everyone, looked at it again and it might be €30 a week. Hope it is, will help with petrol and creche costs. It's a pity means test doesn't account for outgoings.
