§ 24. Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the upper limit permitted to benefit claimants for time spent writing material for publication before their benefit is reduced; and if he will make a statement. [73061]
§ Angela EagleThe impact of time spent writing material for publication on entitlement to benefit depends on the claimant's circumstances and the benefit being claimed. For example, provided other conditions are satisfied Jobseeker's Allowance can be paid where work done for payment or in expectation is undertaken for less than 16 hours per week. Special rules apply to people on New Deal programmes.
