Hi,You daughter will be allowed to earn £20 per week while claiming Income support. Anything more than this and her Income Support will be reduced £1 for £1.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Hi @jaktag. How are you getting on? Has your daughter decided to take the job? Some people in her situation have looked into Universal Credit as an alternative because the work allowance can be kinder than on Income Support.
