I want to know what happens if people who would have been eligible for the jobseeker's transitional payment work part-time. Either they get a bit of the jobseeker's transitional payment following a means test or they would be over the threshold.

Do other supports kick in? If someone was a lone parent, the other supports would kick in if they were working part time. Do the supports associated with jobseeker's allowance transition kick in irrespective of whether the person would get any money out of it?
