I've been offered a temporary job which runs for three weeks. As it was more than 16 hours it meant I had to sign off. Due to travel costs I'm only taking £40 home a week. I booked an appointment at the job centre to discuss whether or not taking the job would be worthwhile. According to them I would be able to claim working tax credits. I phone up today and discovered that I can't claim them because I have to be working for a minimum of four weeks. I went to the job centre and told them that they had made a mistake about me being eligible for claiming working tax credits. I explained that by having this job I was over £30 a week worse off and that as I have next to no savings I'm unable to pay my rent for the month with this job. They told me that now that I have accepted the job I would be sanctioned if I chose to quit. They said that the decision was mine. I could either quit and be sanctioned for a longer period than I'd be working, or settle for £40 a week for the next three weeks. Is there anything I'm entitled to? If I don't pay my rent at the end of the month I will have nowhere to live. The only way I can see around this is if I sell my possessions.
