And no judge ever has a personal agenda....

Maybe you should? I'm not even joking either. I have friends that literally run hairdressers, and when the business is bad they don't take any money out.
I said that there's no requirement to be not working. It appears to be measured based on your income and the number of...Last edited by FIERCE TANK BATTLE; 1 December 2025, 17:50.

The ol' "ur dum" reply, well, you've certainly got me there. (That's sarcasm)...

No, I wasn't. God what tired lefty response though, simply ignore the content of the post, the data, the statistics, and the reasoning, try to completely derail the conversation away from the topic.
The video I used to highlight how the government seems to not hold important statistics...

Tricky innit considering there seems to be a concerted effort to avoid collecting any data that might foster negative views, there's quite a few vids like this that highlight this issue on a variety of topics, this is just the latest one I saw.
I guess the most indisputable data would be...

Thanks, honestly I can't believe I fell for the ol' declining birth rate trick, where they count the number of births and deaths and do a complicated sum called 'subtraction'.
Everyone knows officially published government statistics that spell outright what's going on in the country are...

Nothing to worry about at all, false alarm. Thanks for pointing out the mistake....

The problem is more that they're *legally* claiming, cos Labour seems to have made anyone and everyone eligible for as much cash and money as they can find.
We did have a problem with migration, and most migrants have 3+ children, well not to fret they now get even moooooore money. Moooore...

Merely going to explain my situation and see if I am eligible.
If not, then no harm done. But according to the wording they've published, it does appear that I would be eligible.
It is bonkers, but that's what removing means testing does. I mean it's not like any of us even...

It seems fairly ordinary to stop paying yourself when your business has no income.
JSA is based on if you are working or not, I am not working. You can't claim it if you are working, so if you're in a contract, then you would not be eligible.
AFAIK the only reason for paying...Last edited by FIERCE TANK BATTLE; 28 November 2025, 22:11.

The company has already bought a car that belongs to itself, not me. I'm allowed to use it in exchange for paying BIK.
The new JSA appears to be based solely on your job income (zero) and your pension, nothing else.
I'll leave it to them to decide if eligible, but I can't see...

It's a disgrace to pay national insurance and then when out of work, to claim JSA? It's this a tough-man thing.
Next you'll be telling me real men don't use ISAs and don't postpone their dividends to avoid paying higher rate tax...!...

You don't have to be out of work to claim JSA, you just have to be working less than 16 hours, and your income (which for me is zero) would reduce any payments....

Applied to new JSA today. Not sure if I'm eligible or not, but we'll find out.
There's some confusion on if they require a P45, since I can't really fire myself from my own company...

Possible to claim new style JSA?
Out of work atm, looking at the new style JSA: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-styl...-new-style-jsa
It looks lke you can claim if you pause salary payments to yourself from your LTD (just taking those to use up my personal allowance while unemployed)....
