Hi,
I'm on Income based Job Seekers Allowance.
After not much luck finding work in this country I got a job offer from overseas, in the far east. I'm quite eager to go and it starts at the end of March.
To go I need a few things, a year long return air ticket, money for an apartment for the first month, clothing and stuff, a fast track passport ect, and money in case things go wrong. About £2000 would be good.
Fortunately I have this money. I have several quite valuable camera lenses I bought way back in the 1990's and by selling them and other stuff, I reckon I could easily raise about £1,500 from Ebay.
As far as I know selling property you have owned since the 90's is not income, it's not eligible for income tax. However someone told me if I do this they will stop my Jobseeker's Allowance which would make selling them pointless as the loss of benefit would offset the sale money and I couldn't take the job anyway.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about this?
