Why were you unable to get a job for 2 years? Was it a conscious decision you made not to apply for jobs? -
Do you get JSA even if you have savings? I thought they wouldn't give you anything, not even the first 6 months, if you have savings...Comment

I thought JSA was Just Sitting on Arse, but then I realise Job seekers allowance yes?
I didn't claim JSA when off for 3 months this year. Didn't see the point and they wanted the in's and out's of a cats backside in information. Next time though, if only for the NI stamps i'll be straight round to sign on.Comment

When between assignments I always ensure that I claim for JSA - if you have claimed before the procedure is in fact quick - apart from the 60 quid a week (every little penny helps you know!) it means your NI stamps are paid - and there are furhter benefits in terms of entitlement to free training courses, fares for job interviews being paid - also all the local leisure/sports facilities are free etc .Originally posted by ft101 View PostI thought JSA was Just Sitting on Arse, but then I realise Job seekers allowance yes?

if so to claim JSA surely you have to sack yourself, then re-employ yourself when you get a new gig - too much trouble?Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon
