On social but chance to work few hours

[Pickle]

If a person is on assistant's of 204E a week and has a chance of working a few hours a here and there,eg 8 hours x 10 E in a month.
Is this allowed in any shape or form?
Might lead to more work down the line,should social be informed as heard that if you where only receiving around 100E a month then no need?maybe idle gossip but all advice welcome

Yes....... its commonly called the X's and O's game.

Unemployed

To get Jobseeker’s Allowance you must be unemployed. However, there are circumstances in which you can do some work and get Jobseeker’s Allowance.
Part-time or casual work
If you get part-time or casual work (up to and including 3 days per week), you may still be paid a proportion of your Jobseeker's Allowance. However, you must show that you are trying to get full-time employment.

Bear in mind that if you work for 1 hour in a day, you're considered to be working for that full day - so best option is to group the hours you get into as few days as possible.
