JobSeekers benefit and rental income

Hi,

My wife and I were both made redundant recently. To supplement our income, which at the moment is solely made up of social welfare benefits (Job Seekers Benefit), we are now considering renting a large portion of the downstairs of our house, turning it into a one bed apartment.

My questions is: How would rental income effect our Job Seekers Benefit and is there any best way to use rent as a income supplement while your on welfare payments? We were/are jointly assessed for PAYE.

Many thanks,
S.
 
As you are not on a means-tested payment, the rental income will not have any effect on JB payments.
